Abstract

The use of renewable energy sources is rapid now due to limited traditional fossil fuels. Solar energy is an interesting and perspective area of study in power sector because of its affordability and relative cheapness. Of course, the point is to collect the energy and convert it into electricity. Solar panels are created to make it possible. For the optimal choice of solar modules, it is necessary to know its efficiency. In the technical description of solar panels, the manufacturer indicates the parameters obtained in the laboratory. Often, technical description of panels, which is obtained in laboratory, do not correspond to the data when panels are operated in real conditions. The purpose of my master's thesis is to evaluate the efficiency of photovoltaic modules in real-life conditions. To accomplish the aim, I will conduct experiments with the Aiyima solar cells. In order to evaluate effectiveness of using solar panels for power supply in Siberia, I will make technical and economic models of power supply in the decentralized village of Pervopashensk in Tomsk region. It is important to distinguish these two terms: efficiency and effectiveness. Efficiency is a quantitative technical term denoting (in case of PV panels) relation between input and output power. Effectiveness is qualitative term denoting successful achievement of tasks.
