EFFICIENCY ANALYSIS OF THE USE OF SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULES BASED ON CLIMATIC ZONES
Abstract
Currently, solar energy is one of the most widely used types of green energy in the world. In different parts of the earth, solar insolation is not constant. Therefore, this study aims to determine the main characteristics of solar insolation in the different climatic zones. This paper analyzes the prospects for using solar energy in subtropical, temperate-continental, continental, sharp-continental, and monsoon climate zones. The efficiency of converting solar radiation into electrical energy is estimated considering seven regions located in these climatic zones. The analysis is based on the results of an annual study of a test photovoltaic station installed at the Ufa State Aviation Technical University. Based on the analysis results, temperature characteristics, solar insolation, solar energy conversion efficiency, and specific electricity generation were obtained for each region. The study found that the efficiency of solar energy conversion of photovoltaic modules in climatic zones ranges from 60% to 85% of the nominal value. The average value of solar radiation in the remote northern regions is 810 kWh/m2, in the southern regions it is in the range of 1350-1400 kWh/m2. The technical potential of using solar energy is very high, the most favorable are the subtropical and continental climate zones.
