Design and Performance Analysis of Solar PV System Size 2.56 kWp

As the consumption of power continues to increase, there will be efforts to increase the amount of power generated from renewable resources. Among different types of renewable energy, solar photovoltaic systems have been developing rapidly in recent years. The design of PV systems installed in city of Baghdad to operate AC loads about six hours a day between 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. was sizing about (2.56) kWp when assessed over the year. The power output of this PV system is dependent on the solar radiation rates of the site. Power production was higher in the summer months due to increased solar radiation rates, dependent on the high environment temperatures during this period relative to the winter months, accumulation of dust, and high temperature of the solar panels, which are the most important factors influencing the system's performance
