Determining the Impact of the Environmental Condition on the Production Performance of Photovoltaic in Kirkuk, Iraq | Chapter 11 | New Approaches in Engineering Research Vol. 12

 The current study looked into the effect of weather conditions on the photovoltaic (PV) module's production performance. The tests were carried out using two identical 75-watt PV modules that were deployed in the same weather circumstances in Kirkuk City, Iraq, during the summer season. One was utilised as a standard module as a reference panel, while the other was used in all of the essential testing. Water circulation has been used to cool the PV module to an excellent soil, which has been used to assess the effect of hot weather and dust deposition on PV performance. The results show that temperature increases have an inverse effect on the fill factor (FF) and PV efficiency; on the other hand, the cooling process contributed to an increase of 11.8 percent in the voltage generated across PV panels, whereas the reduction in voltage generation by unclean panels due to natural pollution deposition on the front of the panels for three months was about 3.8 percent when compared to clean panels and 13.8 percent when compared to voltage pro. Improve its performance by performing periodic maintenance on the PV module to remove dust and adding the appropriate size of PV panels to compensate for the shortage in PV unit power production caused by hot weather that cannot be regulated.
