Enhancement of the efficiency of solar energy cells by selecting suitable places based on the simulation of PV System

Abstract

At present, the increasing demand for electrical energy and the presence of renewable sources in various forms in the world and, particularly in Iraq, such as solar energy and wind energy, have become the focus of researchers' attention. Huge efforts are focused on finding ways to use ecologically friendly energy to generate electricity and eliminate fossil fuels. In this study paper, we propose the use of a simulation program to discover the ideal location for a solar cell and the amount of time to be exposed to the sun's rays, so that a home powered by solar energy can be built. Also, through this program, the losses were calculated that accompany the conversion of light energy into electrical energy to find the necessary solutions to make the solar cell work with high efficiency.
