Abstract

There are dust and temperature have influencing the energy performance of the photovoltaic system (PV). The outcome of this experiment is based on the mono-crystalline PV panel of Sunmodule SW185, manufactured by Solar World with nominal output power 185 W and dimension 1610 x 810x 34mm. Electrical parameter likes open circuit voltage, short circuit current, temperature and irradiation have been recorded to the various situation. The experiment have been carry on clean solar PV panel, PV panel with present of dust and wind velocity effect on temperature of module. The calculated output power and percentage of power loss have been calculated among the clean module and the present of dust. 35g of dust have a highest percentage of power loss compared to the 25g and 30g dust. The wind velocity have been measured by using wind sensor. The efficiency of mono-crystalline module for combine of two climatic parameters (temperature and wind velocity) had be defined. The increase of wind velocity have increases the efficiency while increases of temperature have decreases the efficiency of the PV system.
