A new method for evaluating the power generation and generation efficiency of solar photovoltaic system is proposed in this paper. Through the combination of indoor and outdoor solar radiation and photovoltaic power generation system test, the method is applied and validated. The following conclusions are drawn from this research.
Photovoltaic (PV) technologies: are considered a reliable alternative to fossil fuel which can be implemented in a wide range of settings. Little or no environmental pollution at the point of use. Can work without tracking. Systems are less complicated. Requires minimum maintenance. Scalable. Centralized PV power plants. Urban integrated.
In the calculation of life cycle cost, all energy produced by the PV system is valued at the same $/kWh rate, so the result would not be accurate when the PV system is off-setting a utility rate dominated by demand or time-of-use charges. 2
Reduced reliability in PV systems can lead to decreased energy production, increased reliance on fossil fuels, and diminished investment returns, ultimately undermining both environmental sustainability and economic viability 2.
Suppliers use EoL to denote the period after which a product no longer receives formal after-sales service, making it obsolete. End-of-life PV panels are becoming more popular because the 1990 s-era PV systems are being decommissioned . End-of-life panels can be reduced, reused, or recycled.
