Abstract

This study examined three PV models—polycrystalline, monocrystalline, and thin film—at their suitable inclination angles, monitoring radiation and ambient temperature to compare their performance in summer and winter emphasis on the real case study situated at Faculty of Engineering, Heliopolis University. The study examined two angles with variable steel structures. A detailed comparison done by putting modules at a 15-degree angle in 2021 and a 30-degree angle in 2022. A 15o inclination angle is better in winter than a 30o, but a 30o is better in summer, according to this study. A comparison analysis was performed to assess the dimensions of the output filter for inverters employed in three solar systems. This study utilizes Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Water Cycle Algorithm (WCA) to examine the sizing of the LCL output filter of the inverter. Additionally, the research investigated the critical aspect of determining the optimal size of the output filter inverter, with a primary focus on analyzing the Levelized Cost of the Electricity generated (LCOE).
