Abstract
This research article delves into the comprehensive assessment of the energy and exergy efficiencies of two distinct solar photovoltaic (PV) panel technologies—olycrystalline and monocrystalline–deployed in the climatic context of Skikda, Algeria. The study aims to discern the superior performer among these two-panel types while taking into account the influential factors of solar radiation, and wind velocity. The results reveal that both panel technologies exhibit closely matched energy and exergy efficiencies, with a slight preference observed for monocrystalline panels. The impact of environmental variables on panel performance is significant, with temperature negatively affecting efficiency, while increased solar irradiance positively enhances energy and exergy production. Wind speed plays a cooling role, thereby augmenting electrical energy generation for both panel types. These findings contribute valuable insights into optimizing solar energy utilization in regions with warm and sun-drenched climates, like Skikda. The research serves as a crucial reference point for policymakers, researchers, and industry stakeholders keen on harnessing solar energy effectively under varying environmental conditions.
