A Review on Factors Influencing the Mismatch Losses in Solar Photovoltaic System

A. D. Dhass et al.

Summary: In the past two decades, there has been a persistent emphasis on developing energy generation systems that are free from greenhouse gas emissions in order to combat global warming and its resulting effects. Solar photovoltaic systems have been identified as a promising method for generating electricity, although they suffer from various losses that limit their conversion efficiency. This article reviews several studies that analyze the effects of factors such as parasitic resistances, dust, clouds, solar radiation, temperature, and humidity on the performance of solar photovoltaic systems, as well as suggesting remedies for these issues.
