Abstract
In this paper, a computer program, simulating the insolation on a photovoltaic module and the energy obtained from it, assuming maximum power point operation, has been developed. By calculation, the performance of PV array has been investigated theoretically at different tilt angles and orientations on the meteorological conditions of Guangzhou. As a result, it is found that the optimum value of yearly maximum output energy(at the maximum power point)can be obtained from PV array oriented facing south with a tilt angle of 19°, and for a constant shift from the south direction and a constant surface tilt angle, the yearly maximum output energy of the PV array shifted towards the east direction is higher than those shifted towards the west in Guangzhou; the orientation of the PV array don’t influence very obvious for the performance of the PV array in building integrated photovoltaics(BIPV) grid-connected system.
