PSS (Photovoltaic Solar Systems) are a key technology in energy transition, and their efficiency depends on multiple interrelated factors. This study uses a systematic review based on the PRISMA methodology to identify four main categories affecting performance: technological, environmental, design and installation, and operational factors.
The solar constant tells us how much energy the Sun provides; PV design tells us how much of that we can capture. Outside Earth's atmosphere, spacecraft experience the full strength of the solar constant. Spacecraft solar arrays use the constant directly — about 1367 W/m² of continuous sunlight. I = S x (1 AU/r)2
It represents the amount of solar energy that is received per unit area at a specific distance from the sun. The solar constant is an important factor in understanding the Earth's climate and energy balance, as it influences the temperature of the planet and drives weather patterns.
This review examined the many environmental factors that influence solar PV performance. The individual and combined effects of several key factors must be understood and mitigated to optimize PV output: solar irradiance, temperature, cloud cover, dust and pollutants, snow cover, albedo, and extreme weather events. Some of the key findings are:
