Abstract :
The present work illustrated the reliability analysis of solar photovoltaic systems and the efficiency of medium grid-connected
photovoltaic (PV) power systems with 1-out of- 2 PV panels, one out of one charge controller, 1- out of 3 batteries, 1- out of 2
inverters and one out one Distributor. The units that comprise the solar were studied. Gumbel Hougaard Family Copula method was
used to evaluate the performances of solar photovoltaics. Other reliability metrics were investigated, including availability, mean
time to failure, and sensitivity analysis. The numerical result was generated using the Maple 13 software. The numerical results were
presented in tables, with graphs to go along with them. Failure rates and their effects on various solar photovoltaic subsystems were
investigated. Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the obtained results and to assess the influence of various system
characteristics. The current research could aid companies, and their repairers overcome some issues that specific manufacturing and
industrial systems repairers face.
