An Overview of Factors Influencing Solar Power Efficiency and Strategies for Enhancing

Solar energy is becoming more intense for both generating electricity and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The photovoltaic effect is used in solar photovoltaic (PV) cells to convert light into electricity. The quantity of irradiance that strikes the solar cells has a major effect on a photovoltaic module's power output. Several factors influence the power output or efficiency of a solar module. The environment, on the other hand, is a crucial essential component that has a direct influence on photovoltaic performance. Other factors that impact PV-based energy-generating systems include PV cell technology, environmental variables, and peripheral device choices. This article explored all of the variables that influence the PV system's operation and efficiency. This article focuses on the variables that influence solar energy generating efficiency and offers ideas to enhance it. The thorough overview discussed will benefit researchers working on the design, theory, and/or implementation of photovoltaic-based power generation systems.
