Photovoltaic power generation for polycrystalline solar cells and turning sunlight into electricity

This thesis is an overview of photovoltaic (PV) power generation in order toprovide the reader with a general understanding of photovoltaic power generation and howPV technology can be practically applied. We provide a review of the history, the presentstatus and possible future developments of photovoltaic materials for terrestrialapplications. We were investigated the analysis of the system performance, evaluation ofthe system efficiency and power output, taking into account the weather conditions. Fromour work , we can conclude that a photovoltaic system should be applied, not just forgenerating electricity, but also for improving general aspects including the use of thermalenergy behind the panel during the summer, daylight provision inside the room, shadeprovision for the interior of the building during the winter, and aesthetical contribution tothe interior view and exterior of the building.Keywords: solar cell, photovoltaic, solar panel3
