Due to human population growth, spreading of technology
and consumption rise the energy demand of our civilization
increased rapidly during last decades. The depletion of fossil
fuels forces us to develop new alternative energy sources.
Among them solar radiation has the largest potential which
can be utilized in the process of photovoltaic conversion which
provides the most useful energy form, electric energy. The aim
of the presented work is to compare different photovoltaic (PV)
technologies performance under real operation conditions in
East part of Poland (warmsummer continental climate according
to Köppen’s climate classification). The study is based on the
data collected during 2015-2016 period at photovoltaic plant
which consists of polycrystalline modules (1390 kWp of nominal
power) as well as thin film CdTe, amorphous silicon and copper
indium gallium (di)selenide (CIGS) modules (3.3 kWp, 3.42
kWp, 3.72 kWp, respectively). Simultaneously with monitoring
of energy production at the PV plant, measurements of solar
irradiation and module temperature was carried out by adequate
sensors and all the received data were registered every five
minutes during the considered period of time. The results show
that monthly yield as well as performance ratio of CIGS modules
is good comparing to other installed technologies, especially
during summer months. The significant impact of temperature is
visible in case of pc-Si in contrast to CIGS technology which has
the lowest temperature related loses. Prediction of performance
and assessment of diverse PV technologies in the given location
are significant and allow avoiding over or under estimation of
installations at the planning stage.
