A photovoltaic power station, also known as a solar park, solar farm, or solar power plant, is a large-scale grid-connected photovoltaic power system (PV system) designed for the supply of merchant power.
A solar power station is a facility that generates electricity by converting sunlight into electricity using solar panels, which consist of multiple solar cells. These stations can range in size from a few kilowatts to hundreds of megawatts and can be installed on the ground, rooftops, or walls to harness direct sunlight efficiently.
However, environmental conditions as well as operation and maintenance of the solar PV cell affect the optimum output and substantially impact the energy conversion efficiency, productivity and lifetime, thus affect the economy of power generation.
Some of the input and output factors in these studies are variable. For example, solar irradiance, sunshine hours, and temperature are relevant for photovoltaic power generation, while wind power density and wind speed for wind power generation. These variable factors affect the amount of electricity produced by solar and wind.
The practical potential of PV power plants is the amount of solar energy that can be converted into electricity by PV systems under acceptable conditions. This depends on the solar radiation, the area desirable and acceptable for PV installation, and the impact and benefit of PV technology.
In this study, an investigation about recent works regarding the effect of environmental and operational factors on the performance of solar PV cell is presented. It is found that dust allocation and soiling effect are crucial, along with the humidity and temperature that largely affect the performance of PV module.
