Simulation Study of three PV Systems

In this paper, a performance analysis of three grid-connected PV systems in Beni Mellal weather conditions was carried out using PVsyst software. The PV system consists of polycrystalline silicon (pc-Si), monocrystalline silicon (mc-Si) and amorphous (a-Si) solar cell technologies. The annual production is found to be around 3733.1 kWh, 3716.5 kWh and 3543.8 kWh for the mc-Si, pc-Si and a-Si technologies, respectively. The performance analysis has showed that the annual average value of PR ratio for the a-Si is nearly 83.8%, 80.5% for mc-Si and 80.1% for pc-Si plant.
