Abstract :
Metrological parameters plays significant
role on the performance of solar panels in electrical
power generation. To ascertain the extent to which
ambient temperature, temperature of the panels, solar
radiation were measured, recorded and analyzed at
half-hour interval for five days, at the same period two
solar panels were subjected to test, one being connected
to a system of cooling leaving the other untouched.
Measurement of both the output current and voltage
were made from which the power output was
calculated. The result shows that the power output was
increasing as the solar radiation increased, which is
clear indication that the entire photovoltaic process
depend on the radiation intensity and environmental
conditions. It was also observed that the efficiency of the
solar panel with cooling system is slightly greater than
that without cooling system. The efficiency and energy
output of both solar panels were determined to be 15%,
13% and 477kWh, 449kWh respectively. The difference
of 28kWh is not supposed to be neglected, because
considering the difference of many days and many
panels cannot be neglected. Also few approaches that
have been proposed to reduce the effect of temperature
on the solar photovoltaic system by choosing the
appropriate configurations, by mounted on free
standing frames, photovoltaic thermal collectors and
building integrated photovoltaic arrays, respectively
