| Abstract | This paper describes the field performance of a grid-connected photovoltaic (GCPV) system using single junction amorphous silicon PV modules installed in Shah Alam, Malaysia over a period of one year. The system consists of fifteen Kaneka K60 PV modules and connected to the grid by indirectfeed via an SMA Sunny Boy 1200. The system has been continuously monitored and analyzed in accordance with international standards and guidelines. The results showed that the average daily irradiation at the site ranges from 3.34 to 4.47 kWh/m2. The average daily array and final yields were 3.83 kWh/kWp and 3.46 kWh/kWp, respectively. The array and system efficiencies were 5.93% and 5.35 % respectively. At the end of the first year of operation, the total AC energy production was 1,128 kWh and the annual performance ratio was 85%. However, there appears to be a steady decline in array and system efficiencies. Nevertheless, these performance values were among the highest compared to all other systems from the cited literature. |
