Understanding Solar Photovoltaic System Performance
This report presents a performance analysis of 75 solar photovoltaic (PV) systems installed at federal sites, conducted by the Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) with
PSS (Photovoltaic Solar Systems) are a key technology in energy transition, and their efficiency depends on multiple interrelated factors. This study uses a systematic review based on the PRISMA methodology to identify four main categories affecting performance: technological, environmental, design and installation, and operational factors.
Due to their rapid commercialisation, Photovoltaic (PV) systems are considered the foundation of present and future renewable energy. Nonetheless, the full potential of this technology has yet to be realised because of several challenges. Consequently, effective solutions are critical for achieving high solar PV performance.
Environmental factors, including solar radiation, temperature, and contaminants, also substantially impact system performance. Design and installation play a crucial role, particularly in panel orientation, solar tracking systems, and the optimization of electrical configurations.
The efficiency of photovoltaic systems is crucial in maximizing performance and ensuring their economic and environmental viability in large-scale applications. Several technological, ecological, design, installation, and operational factors directly influence the ability of these systems to convert solar radiation into usable energy.
