The study of the arid climate effect on the performance of photovoltaic system

The Adrar site is among sites of the highest solar radiation potential in the world. This region is characterized by high ambient temperature in the summer, which in some days is exceed 45 °C, where the high ambient temperature is affects the solar cells.The aim of this paper is to assessments the PV cells types mono crystalline, poly crystalline, micro crystalline amorphous and tripple junction for meteorological variables of Adrar environment.These models were tested by using input data from meteorological station of (URERMS-Adrar),and these inputs are used in software for PV system (PVsyst) to identify the characteristics of these types of PV module. The comparison between PV cells type mono-crystalline and poly-crystalline of same maximum power (250 W) it show that the cells type poly crystalline it more affected by the temperature of than mono crystalline. Finally, have reached that the assessments the performance of PV module is linked to weather (clear sky, overcast sky, shading, cold and hot).
