Abstract
Tunisia has high solar radiation levels, which makes it suitable for the installation of photovoltaic (PV) systems. The design of these kinds of systems is an important step because there are many crucial factors to assess the PV module efficiency such as temperature, module types and solar radiation.This paper aims to give an analysis of the most influencing factor for selecting location. In fact, after estimating the PV panel inclination, the solar radiation and the temperature in “Zarzis” (southeastern of Tunisia), a comparative analysis among the different PV panel types was given. Additionally, to find which technologies are suitable for the climate conditions of this area, it is important to compare the effect of temperature and solar radiation on their performances.
