    DETERMINATION OF CLOUD EFFECT ON THE PERFORMANCE OF PHOTOVOLTAIC MODUL
    (Bayero University Kano, 2016-06-09) ABDULSALAM IBRAHIM GAYA; ABDULSALAM IBRAHIM GAYA
    This work investigates the effect of cloud on the performance of solar PV panel. The intensity of solar radiation is reduced in cloud condition, because cloud interrupts beam radiation reaching the earth surface, as a result, this affect the output performance of the PV module. Outdoor experiment and simulations of parameters of the PV module are conducted using MATLAB to investigate this effect. Result shows that, the cloud reduced efficiency of the PV module by blocking some part of the Sun. In the three experimental locations of this work, the reduction in efficiency was found to be from 0.96% to 3.77%
