4. Solar Resource

Irradinace :- Intensity of radiation striking the earth w/Sqm or kW/Sqm. (Power per unit area)

Factors affecting irradiance:-

  • Location of module related to location of sun
  • Time of the year
  • Weather condition
Edge of cloud effect - cloud pass over PV array and prevents the sun from striking the array
Solar PV Modules are designed for relatively constant voltage and varying current depends on the irradiance
