Abstract

The solar photovoltaic (PV) system generates both electrical and thermal energy from solar radiation. In this paper, an attempt has been made for evaluating electrical output of solar PV panel installed at Ajat Instruments Nigeria Limited, Mokola, Ibadan, Nigeria. Using the ï¬ rst law of thermodynamics, energy/power analysis was performed. The operating and electrical parameters of a PV array include PV module temperature, open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current, ï¬ ll factor, etc. were used. The reviewed formulas were used for the calculation of the energy/power efficiency of the PV system. Energy/power efficiency was calculated to be approximately 18%. Future studies should focus on modelling the efficiency of the solar panel. More investigation is required to define the optimum efficiency of the solar panel.
