Abstract

Various elements, such as solar irradiation, angle of incidence, ambient temperature, wind speed and direction, shading effects, panel degradation, and other environmental and operational parameters, may substantially affect the efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) systems. This paper examines critical factors influencing PV performance, including cooling solutions, temperature coefficient evaluation, geographical effects, and sophisticated materials, emphasizing the effects of solar irradiation and ambient temperature. The potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in forecasting PV system efficiency is examined. Four Machine Learning (ML) models are used; the Neural Network outperforms others in performance, while the Fine Tree model offers superior training time. Feature importance analysis indicates that prioritizing solar irradiance enhances PV prediction accuracy, while excluding low-impact variables, such as wind direction, enables simpler, cost-effective, and reliable real-world PV prediction systems.
