Abstract:
This paper presents data collected from a 5.94 kWp grid connected photovoltaic (PV) plant implemented in hot semi-arid climate of Safi region, Morocco. The data include electrical power production and PV module temperature of three PV technologies: mono-crystalline (m-Si), poly-crystalline (p-Si), and amorphous (a-Si); they also include plane of array solar irradiance and ambient temperature. Solar irradiance was measured with calibrated reference cells, inverters provided the produced powers, and the temperatures were obtained by Pt100 probes. The data were measured each 5 min and were remotely accessible through internet. They were preprocessed to eliminate unrepresentative records and were used for the development of simple and accurate models for PV power forecasting [1]. These data are typical for hot semi-arid climate and may be reused for regional forecast of PV power as well as solar energy and PV module temperature predictions.
