The aim of this paper was to investigate the influence of solar radiation intensity, ambient temperature, wind speed and solar module temperature on the modules physical characteristics, in local climate conditions and for all seasons in Nis, Serbia. Twelve sunny days, for each month of the year, from the period September 2014 - June 2016 were selected. During each day meteorological parameters, solar module temperature and solar module output parameters were measured. The highest values of solar radiation intensity, ambient temperature and solar module temperature were measured in summer months, while the lowest values were in winter months. The maximal values of the output power were measured in summer months due to the high values of solar radiation intensity on the solar modules surface. A negative impact of high solar module temperature on the open circuit voltage, the output power, the fill factor and the efficiency was observed. In the winter months the local climatic conditions and air pollution have an adverse impact on the solar module efficiency and lead to a noticeable reduction of the efficiency.

This paper included analysis the conversion efficiency in photovoltaic panels. The tests were done between February and June at a test stand equipped with three commonly used types of photovoltaic panels: poly- and monocrystalline silicon and with semi-conductive layer made of copper (Cu), indium (In), gallium (Ga) and selenium (Se) (CIGS). Five days of each month were selected for a detailed analysis. They were close to the so-called recommended day for calculations in solar power engineering. Efficiency, calculated as the yield of electrical energy in relation to solar radiation energy reaching the panels was made conditional upon solar radiation intensity and ambient temperature. It was found that as solar radiation intensity and ambient temperature increase, the efficiency of solar radiation conversion into electricity is reduced. Correlation dependence was determined for the test data obtained, describing temperature change of panels depending on climatic conditions. It was found that as panel temperature increases, the conversion efficiency is reduced. Within the tested scope of experiment conditions, the efficiency was reduced in the range between 20.1 and 22.8%. The authors also determined the average efficiency values in individual test months together with average ambient conditions of the environment where the process of solar radiation conversion took place.

Solar energy properties such as Global Solar Radiation (GSR) intensity could be determined in either methods, experimentally or theoretically. Unfortunately, in most countries including Afghanistan, the first method which is more acceptable, but due to the high cost, maintenance and calibration requirements is not available. Therefore, an alternative widely used way is the second one which is model developments based on the meteorological (atmospheric) data; specially the sunny hours. The aim of this study at Shakardara area is to estimate atmospheric transparency percentage on 2017, determining the angstrom model coefficients and to introduce a suitable model for global solar radiation prediction. The hourly observed solar radiation intensity H (WHm-2 ) and sunshine hours S (
