Abstract
All solar photovoltaic technologies studied in this research are located in Baghdad city at coordinates (33.33 °N, 44.43 °E, and 41 m above sea level). These technologies are 5 kWp Mono-Si, 107 kWp poly-Si, 15 kWp HIT, and 5 kWp CIGS. CIGS is the second generation while mono, poly, and HIT Si are the first generation. The energy production during February for CIGS, HIT, Mono-Si, and Poly-Si was 642.41 kWh, 1835.2 kWh, 542 kWh and 11174 kWh, respectively. The efficiencies of CIGS, HIT, Mono-Si, and Poly-Si were 12.6%, 14.6%, 10.2%, and 13.2%, respectively. The performance ratio for CIGS, HIT, Mono-Si, and Poly-Si were 83%, 83.3%, 74%, and 75%, respectively.
