The following elements influence the amount of electricity generation from solar power plant:

1. Panel material

There are three types of solar panels based on the material: monocrystalline,
polycrystalline, and thin films. They vary in terms of efficiency.

2.Module quality

Different brands of modules have varying levels of efficiency. The higher the brand, the higher the efficiency and the lower the degradation. As a result, there will be an increased generation in the long term.

3.Location

Electricity generated from solar power plants is influenced by radiation factors. Radiation varies from place to place—the more the radiation, the greater the generation.

4.Temperature

Because solar panels are typically tested at 25 degrees Celsius, the temperature coefficient percentage depicts the change in the generation when the temperature rises or falls by one degree.

5. Orientation

For maximum electricity generated from solar power plants, it should be slanted at an angle equal to the place’s latitude. As the sun is higher in the summer and lowers in the winter, modifying the tilt
of the panels as per the season allows you to capture more energy throughout the year. In brief, changing the angle twice a year provides a significant energy increase.
