What happened

Researchers at Djillali Liabes University of Sidi Bel-Abbes published a six-year performance assessment of a 12 MW grid-connected solar power plant in Sidi Bel-Abbes, western Algeria, covering through .S1 The study identified a marked performance decline in 2020, attributed to reduced maintenance under COVID-19 restrictions.

The plant uses 12 Sunny Central 800CP XT inverters from SMA and 47,808 polycrystalline silicon HSL60-PB-1-250 modules from Hanwha Qcells, each rated at 250 W, mounted at a 34° south-facing tilt.S1 The installation is organized into six 2 MW subfields, each with two inverters feeding a step-up transformer. On-site monitoring follows IEC 61724, recording data every 15 minutes from a control room equipped with supervisory and grid-monitoring computers plus an on-site weather station that measures irradiance, ambient temperature, humidity and wind speed.S1

Dust control relied on a semi-automatic cleaning system with tractor-towed rotating brushes; the researchers tracked reference yield, array yield, final yield, performance ratio (PR), capacity utilization factor, inverter efficiency, capture losses and system losses.S1 Ambient temperatures ranged from 8–10 °C in winter to 22–24 °C in summer, with monthly solar irradiation between 100 and 275 kWh/m² and peaks in June and July.

Annual generation ranged from 19.83 to 21.41 GWh, with 2019 the highest-output year; monthly production peaked at 2,258 MWh in August 2019 and bottomed at 1,125 MWh in January 2020.S1 Average daily reference, array and final yields were 5.65, 4.92 and 4.65 hours, with capture losses of 0.3–1.5 h/day and system losses of 0.1–0.5 h/day. The PR fell to 78.74% in 2020 from 85.37% in 2019, then recovered to 84.83% in 2023, with a six-year average of 82.6%.S1 Module efficiency ran 12–14%, inverter efficiency held at 97–98%, and the average annual capacity factor reached 19.3%, peaking at 20.30% in 2019. Estimated degradation rates were 4.12% and 4.38% across two irradiance/temperature conditions.S1 Findings appeared in Journal of Engineering Research.

XAIPART take

Technical impact

The 6.63-percentage-point PR swing from 2019 to 2020 was not accompanied by any reported change in module degradation slope, which held near 4.12–4.38% across conditions; the data therefore supports a soiling-and-maintenance attribution rather than an intrinsic module-failure mode on the HSL60-PB-1-250. XAIPART analysis

With inverter efficiency flat at 97–98% across all six years on SMA Sunny Central 800CP XT units, system losses of 0.1–0.5 h/day and capture losses of 0.3–1.5 h/day both track dust accumulation frequency, which is what the COVID-era gap appears to have aggravated. XAIPART analysis

Market impact

For EPCs and asset managers underwriting utility-scale PV in arid North-African and Middle-Eastern climates, this is a quantitative case study reinforcing recurring-cleaning line items rather than one-off capex choices. XAIPART analysis

Spare-parts planning for SMA Sunny Central 800CP XT inverters and Hanwha Qcells polycrystalline modules at multi-year horizons is unlikely to be affected; the bottleneck identified here is operations labor and brush-tractor cycles, not component supply. XAIPART analysis

Action

Procurement and O&M teams should weigh whether inverter-monitoring dashboards already on SMA inverter fleets can be re-used to alarm on per-string yield deviation, reducing reliance on a six-year ground-truth dataset. XAIPART analysis

Design engineers specifying future sites should treat 19.3% capacity factor and 82.6% PR as reference benchmarks for similar polycrystalline, fixed-tilt, semi-arid installations rather than as guaranteed values. XAIPART analysis

XAIPART Forecast

XAIPART expects that, if routine cleaning schedules at Sidi Bel-Abbes-style polycrystalline utility plants resume on a regular cadence (no further COVID-style gaps), the HSL60-PB-1-250-based PR band reported by the source (78.74–85.37%) will narrow toward the 84–85% range within 12 months of resumed maintenance, holding inverter efficiency near 97–98% on the SMA Sunny Central 800CP XT; if published site PR for comparable Algerian or comparable-climate polycrystalline sites drifts below 80% in any monthly average without a meteorological cause within 9 months, this forecast is wrong. XAIPART analysis

Facts are as reported by the cited source. The design-in, sourcing and forward-looking statements above are XAIPART's analysis, not the source's claims. Uncertainty: degradation percentages and the COVID-attribution are from a single academic publication at one site; weather-driven losses elsewhere may differ.

Corrections: none at publication. This brief will be updated with a timestamp if the source corrects its report.
