PV power generation, PV performance, Spectral factor, Atmospheric aerosols, Urban environmenAbstract
Photovoltaic power generation is an alternative that can contribute to achieving the goals of sustainable development in the energy sector. With the installation of small PV power plants, the application of photovoltaic technology in urban centers has been widely pointed out as a viable alternative for distributed generation close to large consumer centers. At the same time that the application of photovoltaic technologies presents a continuous growth, air pollution, a chronic problem in big cities, can negatively impact their productivity. Atmospheric aerosols in urban areas are the primary modulator of solar radiation attenuation in the cloudless atmosphere, especially in metropolitan regions located in regions that present dry seasons throughout the year, as is the case of São Paulo. Aerosols cause the attenuation of the total amount of solar radiation incident on the surface as well as alter its spectral distribution. Therefore, this work sought to investigate how the variation in the amount and nature of atmospheric aerosols can affect the performance of photovoltaic plates operating in the metropolitan region of São Paulo through the analysis of the spectral factor of photovoltaic modules. By analyzing the historical series of the optical properties of aerosols, it was possible to identify a significant influence of aerosols from fires in other regions of the country, especially during the dry season of the year. Furthermore, it was possible to observe the same seasonality in the spectral factor of the crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules in operation, resulting in a lag of up to 5% of the spectral performance of the modules. This variation in performance followed the atmospheric scenarios with high AOD and water vapor.
