Effects of the climate change on PV solar farm performance

The integration of renewable energy sources, particularly photovoltaic (PV) systems, is pivotal in addressing global energy demands while combating climate change. This study explores the impact of climate change on the efficiency and reliability of PV solar farms, with a focus on the incorporation of phase change materials (PCMs) to enhance performance. Climate-induced variations such as altered solar radiation, temperature fluctuations, and extreme weather events significantly influence renewable energy production. A comprehensive review of existing literature highlights the vulnerabilities and adaptive strategies for renewable energy systems under changing climatic conditions. This research aims to model the relationship between climate change variables and renewable energy outputs, emphasizing solar energy's potential as a sustainable and low-carbon energy solution. By employing hybrid systems and advanced materials like PCMs, this study seeks to optimize energy capture and reliability, contributing to global efforts toward sustainable energy development and climate change mitigation.
