Abstract

Photovoltaic (PV) power generation has an important role to play due to the fact that it is a green source. The only emissions associated with PV power generation are those from the production of its components. Increasing the efficiency in PV plants so the power generated increases is a key aspect, as it will increase the incomes, reducing consequently the cost of the power generated so it will approach the cost of the power produced from other sources. The efficiency of a PV plant is affected mainly by three factors. The paper discusses the factors affecting the overall efficiency of a solar PV system.
