Solar energy is the fastest-growing source of renewable energy (RE) It is to be noted that DC power generation in the plant must only be considered for the calculation of ρ (t) because if the AC power output is considered, then it will also take into account the inverter losses, which will lead to erroneous calculation.

Solar energy system losses directly impact the overall solar panel’s performance, energy efficiency, and power output. Various factors affect the power production of a solar PV system. The solar module characteristics as well as solar system design, orientation, and configuration all ensure the output of a solar energy system.
Any solar PV issue with these factors becomes the reason for solar energy system losses. However, the best solar design and installation services reduce the risk of system loss issues in a solar panel system.
These losses may happen during the solar cell's light absorption, charge creation, charge collecting, and electrical output processes, among others. Two types of solar cell losses can be distinguished: intrinsic and extrinsic losses (Hirst and Ekins-Daukes, 2011).
As efficiency decreases, a value needs to account for energy loss both during the design process and over the PV system’s lifetime. A solar cell loses 0.5 percent of its output for every 1 degree C above the STC-rated temperature of 25 degrees C. That is why this is the most important loss in the energy system.
The performance of a photovoltaic (PV) system is highly affected by different types of power losses which are incurred by electrical equipment or altering weather conditions. In this context, an accurate analysis of power losses for a PV system is of significant importance.
Finally, the model is verified for both PV cells and modules. The results indicate that, for a PV module, about 57.25% of the total incident solar energy is lost in the carriers’ generation, while the remaining 1.28%, 23.47% and 2.10% are lost in the carriers’ transportation, recombination and cell to module process, respectively.
