Abstract
Solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation is an attractive technique to reduce consumption of fossil fuels and as a renewable energy. PV system is convert photo energy into direct-current energy. The temperature of PV modules increases when it absorbs solar radiation, causing a decrease in efficiency. The overall power output and efficiency of the PV module can decrease by ∼0.5%/̊C and ∼0.05%/̊C when the ambient temperature of module increases. In fact the efficiency of the general PV modules is only between 13% until 20%. This caused will affected the PV module lifespan. In this work, the performance of PV output power is analysis by using PVsyst software. The open-circuit voltage (Voc) of PV module, short circuit current (Isc) and every change temperature on PV module are measure and record. In this work, the result of efficiency of PV under cooling system is 14% while the efficiency of PV under without cooling system is 10.3%. The incident irradiance is 1000 W/m2, the efficiency of PV module is 13.05% while the incident irradiance is 200 W/m2, and the efficiency of PV module is 10.45%. The higher efficiency of PV cell, the payback period of the system can be shorted and the lifespan of PV module can also be longer.
