Abstract

The amount of irradiance received by the photovoltaic panel has a direct impact on electricity generation. The article presents the analysis of the performance of an isolated photovoltaic system, based on the ability to periodically collect enough energy at an optimal angle in order to obtain energy results by decreasing the cost of energy and achieving a greater implementation of the technology. It should be noted that dusty environments can lead to PV energy losses of up to 10% for a slightly dirty panel and up to 40% for a very dirty panel. Several angles of inclination of the photovoltaic panel have been studied in optimal and non-optimal conditions in which the energy losses caused by deviations of the angle of inclination and orientation with respect to the ideal position are evaluated. For this analysis, the Victron Connect application has been used where consumption, power and battery data are monitored in real time. The results show that the optimal azimuth and inclination angles are 00 and 00, with a power of 179 W, in addition to climate changes and dust influence its productivity.
