Abstract
The paper provides basic information on the 2 kWp PV solar power plant with monocrystalline silicon solar modules installed on the roof of the Faculty of Sciences and Mathematics (FSM), University of Nis, and the equipment for the investigation of its energy efficiency depending on the real climate conditions. Furthermore, results of the simulation and experimental determination of the energy efficiency of the PV solar power plant at FSM in Nis, in the period from July 1, 2013 to January 1, 2014, are given. It was found that in this time period the average values of the experimental and simulation calculated energy efficiencies of the PV solar power plant were 9.52% and 8.44%, respectively. The increase in the ambient temperature caused a decrease in the PV solar power plant energy efficiency; with an increase in ambient temperature by 1 ?C, the experimental energy efficiency decreased by 0.22%, and the simulation calculated energy efficiency decreased by 0.07%. The obtained data could be used for the planning and application of PV solar power plants in places with a similar climate.
