Experimental Investigation Of Photovoltaic Panel Performance In Bingol Province For Different Parameters

Abstract

In the present study, an experimental research was conducted on the photovoltaic solar energy potential in Bingöl province. In the study, the electrical energy that the photovoltaic (PV) panel can produce hourly at an inclination angle of 39° and 45° and the panel surface temperature were investigated. The electrical energy that can be produced indoors and outdoors in winter conditions was calculated from the photovoltaic panel with 25 W power. It has been observed that the highest efficiency can be obtained at the 45° panel inclination angle. It has been concluded that while the average electric power produced at an angle of inclination of 45° is 9.68 W in outdoor conditions, it can be 1.222 W in indoor conditions. The data obtained will be an important reference in determining the panel size that will meet the consumption need and in the establishment of higher efficiency systems. It is stated that the payback period of grid-connected systems in provinces with high solar radiation such as Bingöl is 6 years on average. At the end of this period, it is clear that it will make significant contributions to both the landlords, the country's economy, and the environment in terms of reducing emissions.
