Solar Energy Potential and its Spectral Distribution under Different Climate Conditions
Abstract
At the Department of Physics and Process Control, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Szent István University, GödöllĘ, Hungary various solar applications were installed for educational, demonstrational and research purposes, such as PV and solar thermal units, transparent insulation wall and solar dryer unit. During studying the performance of the equipment, large amount of energy production data were collected and compared to the meteorological (solar irradiation, ambient temperature, etc.) data. During the analysis of the main factors the spectral and temperature dependence were identified. This paper presents some results of the analysis of the comparison of the energy and spectral data in a given time period, focusing mainly on the 10 kWp PV system at the campus.
