Abstract

In this paper, the effectiveness of two grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) techniques up of copper indium selenium (CIS) and monocrystalline silicon (m-Si) arrays has been examined. In order to determine whether the technology is suitable for the actual winter and summer climatic conditions in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu, the observed and calculated performances have been compared. The final yield, photovoltaic (PV) effectiveness, array yield, performance ratio, and capacity utilisation factor seem to be the variables used to evaluate performance. Using recorded meteorological data at the selected location, PVsyst software predicts both PV systems’ year-round performances. These predictions are then contrasted to the outcomes of the actual measurements. The outcome showed that with a maximal observed performance ratio, both PV systems function marginally better in the winters than those in the summers. The performance indicators of the PV mechanisms are contrary with those of other PV systems with comparable capacities that are located in different places.
