Abstract

The present work developed the comparative experimental analysis of the actual power production data of a solar PV plant, with simulations done in PVsyst, PVGIS, and SAM. The measurement period was divided between March 2021 to February 2022 and March 2022 to February 2023. It was found that the developed SAM simulation presented the lowest mean square error for the entire measurement period compared to PVsyst and PVGIS, presenting respective values of for SAM, for PVGIS, and for PVsyst. It was also concluded that an increase in ambient temperature can influence the production of a photovoltaic system.
