Abstract
Temperature and solar radiation are two main parameters directly affecting PV (photovoltaic) arrays’ output. Particularly, solar radiation is dependent upon PV arrays’ tilt angles and orientations while PV arrays’ temperatures are related to ambient temperatures. Nevertheless, the effects of ambient temperatures, tilt angles, and orientations on PV arrays’ output for places with equatorial climatic conditions (and abundant sunshine) are scarcely reported. In this paper, the effects of ambient temperatures, tilt angles, and orientations on the total electricity produced by PV arrays and the total NPCs (net present costs) of hybrid PV/diesel systems were studied using HOMER (Hybrid Optimization of Multiple Energy Resources). Three places with different latitudes off the equator (0° 00′ N, 5° 58′ N, and 11° 14′ N) were analyzed and the results showed that increasing ambient temperatures (10–50 °C) and tilt angles (0–90°) resulted in reductions in PV electricity as much as 18% and 55%, respectively.
