Abstract
Arid climate is known for its high amount of solar irradiation. However, the most irradiated sites are located in this climate which is directly linked to a dry, hot and dusty atmosphere. Therefore, the performance -under such conditions- of different PV technologies needs to be investigated to assess the impact of the climate on the production and the efficiency of these modules. In this study, measurements of the electrical performances of two grid connected PV systems -from two technologies: amorphous silicon (a-Si) and Mono-Crystalline Silicon- will be presented. These systems are installed at the Green Energy Park (GEP) research facility and have a capacity of 6,48 and 9,32 kW respectively.Results show highlight that both technologies are affected by the ambient temperature under the same outdoor conditions of Benguerir in Morocco and the mono crystalline technology is very affected by the variation of wind speed.
