This work conducts performance analysis on a thin-film based photovoltaic (PV) solar system located on the Middle East University (MEU) campus in Jordan. The analysis includes gauging the performance of the PV system using established industry performance parameters, and studying the energy production trends. After investigating different aspects affecting the PV solar system such as the PV modules temperature losses and component availability, several causes of low energy output are hypothesized and discussed. Afterwards, a new PV system that relies on crystalline silicon technology was proposed and designed with proper system components along with an economic feasibility study. The new system is designed to provide a comparison to the currently installed system under the same site conditions and to be presented as a future project proposal for the university to pursue. As a result, we have found that the performance ratio of the new proposed PV solar system is five times higher in comparison with the currently installed system.

W tej pracy przeprowadzono analizę wydajności cienkowarstwowego systemu fotowoltaicznego (PV) zlokalizowanego na terenie kampusu Middle East University (MEU) w Jordanii. Analiza obejmuje pomiar wydajności systemu PV przy użyciu ustalonych parametrów wydajnościowych branży oraz badanie trendów produkcji energii. Po zbadaniu różnych aspektów wpływających na system PV, takich jak straty temperatury modułów PV i dostępność komponentów, wysunięto hipotezę i omówiono kilka przyczyn niskiej wydajności energetycznej. Następnie zaproponowano i zaprojektowano nowy system PV, który opiera się na technologii krzemu krystalicznego, z odpowiednimi komponentami systemu wraz ze studium wykonalności ekonomicznej. Nowy system ma zapewnić porównanie z obecnie zainstalowanym systemem w tych samych warunkach na miejscu i zostać przedstawiony jako przyszła propozycja projektu, którą uniwersytet będzie mógł realizować. W rezultacie odkryliśmy, że współczynnik wydajności nowego proponowanego systemu PV jest pięć razy wyższy w porównaniu z obecnie zainstalowanym systemem.
