Evaluation of the Performance of Polycrystalline
In arid regions, the behavior of solar panels changes significantly compared to the datasheets provided by the manufacturer. Therefore, the
Photovoltaic solar panels are devices specifically designed for the generation of clean energy from sunlight. In general, photovoltaic panels are classified into three main categories: monocrystalline, polycrystalline and thin-film panels.
Monocrystalline PV system's configurations outperformed other technologies in terms of efficiency (12.8%), performance ratio (80.5%) and specific yield per unit area (267 kWh/m 2). Accordingly, it is well-placed for sunny climates with moderate temperatures. Polycrystalline systems showed a lower performance in comparison to Monocrystalline.
Available space : If space is limited, higher efficiency panels, such as monocrystalline, are ideal because they generate more energy per square meter. Climate conditions : In warm climates, panels with better heat tolerance, such as monocrystalline, are often more efficient.
In general, photovoltaic panels are classified into three main categories: monocrystalline, polycrystalline and thin-film panels. Each of them has particularities that make them more or less suitable depending on the environment and the objective of the project. Monocrystalline panels are manufactured from a single crystal of pure silicon.
The experimental evaluation conducted by Abu Hussien et al. investigated the performance concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) systems which inherently uses 2-axis tracking systems compared to 2-axis polycrystalline system, results showed that CPV produced 4.6% more energy.
The main features of this type of panels include: High efficiency : Monocrystalline panels typically have energy conversion rates above 20%. This means they are able to harness a greater amount of sunlight to generate electricity.

In arid regions, the behavior of solar panels changes significantly compared to the datasheets provided by the manufacturer. Therefore, the
