Abstract

One of the disadvantages of solar PV systems is their low performance due to their high temperature, so the current article aims to study the performance of the PV / solar chimney, so the performance of the solar PV chimney was analyzed and studied during the months (February, March, April) of 2024, as the results showed that the lowest temperature of solar panels was during the month of February, where it reached (65.1oC ) at 12 pm, and that the highest amount of kinetic energy was also during the month of February, where it reached (15.21 MW) at 12 pm, And that the highest amount of electrical energy generated from photovoltaic panels reached during the month of April by (536,966 Watts), and the highest value of the electrical efficiency of photovoltaic panels reached during the month of February, where it reached (14.51%) at the beginning of the Test at nine in the morning, and the highest value of thermal efficiency reached during the month of April, where it reached (63.74%) at 12 pm.
