A Case Study Of Solar Photovoltaic Generator System At Different Locations In Algeria

Abstract The aim of this study is the evaluation of a photovoltaic system at different locations in Algeria. We have calculated the system efficiency the solar energy captured by the system and the electrical energy output. An economic study of a photovoltaic station has been done by estimating the cost of this project operating for a period of 25 years. To achieve this goal we have selected four regions of the Algerian territory differing in their climatological parameters Algiers Constantine Oran and Tamanrasset. The measured monthly global solar radiation and temperatures values are taken during six years 2000-2005 from the different meteorological stations. The obtained results have revealed that the calculated electrical power for Tamanrasset was the highest one 3581kWh the best efficiency was in Constantine 10.3 however the lowest cost of the project was in Algie4rs and Oran 769.7kDZ.
