Abstract :
The temperature and the wind effect on the PV module is very important to analyze even if the PV spec sheet specify the nominal parameters. Indeed, in Moroccan climate, the response of the polycrystalline PV panel, the most used technology, should be studied and investigated. The present work looks into the output power in the fixed panel and in the two axes tracking panel equipped with polycrystalline PV cells. The study gives an estimation of the real irradiance potential using accurate radiation model and suggest the appropriate technology of solar tracking regarding the chosen site.
