Abstract
By carefully calculating the panel surface in a photovoltaic plant connected to the network, energy can be obtained at a minimum cost price. This has been discussed in a survey entitled `Optimisating the surface of photo= voltaic panels according to the static inverter`. This survey does not however describe how the price of energy varies during the year. This gap is filled by the present work which is helping show how to make optimum calculations in winter. Most of the simulations made during the course of the first study have been repeated. This has allowed new elements to be brought in. One example is the importance of the crystalline cell output-temperature characteristic. It is noted that the winter potential of a photovoltaic plant is greater than that of a solar power plant. This study has also facilitated better definition of the behaviour of the plant`s production-surface characteristic. This shows the importance of having a static inverter capable, in the event of intense periods of sunshine, of limiting the energy injected at rated power. Many parametric studies are helping to show the important parameters of this type of plant for the period from October to March. figs., 3 refs.
