Abstract

Photocells are one of the promising generating electric power sources in the future, when they are used to generate electricity during peak hour loads, the maximum power generated during peak load demand may be more important than the maximum total electric energy generated by such photocells during the whole day. This paper presents the factors which affect the maximum electric power generated by the photocells and how it could be shifted to match loading conditions in some hot countries like Kuwait, in which the peak hour loads lie in the afternoon, where the airconditioning loads predominate during such times of the day.
