Meteorology measurement system is a necessary system
to observe the effect of atmospheric parameters such as
solar radiation, air temperature, humidity and wind that
affect the power generation performance and efficiency of
Photovoltaic (PV) panels. These meteorological data
measured at the location chosen for the PV panel
installation can give many ideas about the operation of the
PV panels to be used, and can direct the selection of the
PV panel technology. It can also give ideas to increase
efficiency. The PV panel selected without making the
necessary measurements with the meteorology
measurement system may result in failure to achieve the
targeted power generation in the medium and long term.
For this reason, a measurement system that can make the
necessary meteorological measurements on location basis
is important. In this study, a meteorology and PV panel
temperature measurement system that can be used in the
performance analysis of PV panels has been developed.
This developed measuring system offers a cost-effective,
easy-to-install alternative solution for performance analysis
of PV panels. In addition, the weekly average data
obtained through the measurement system developed with
this study were analyzed with graphs created over the 6-
month measurement period in total. According to the
results, the six-month average air temperature is 7.88°C
and the average PV panel temperatures are 9.06°C in
Ankara city. In addition, the six-month average wind speed
is found to be 2.93 m/s.
