Abstract : Solar energy has become the most attractive among renewable energy systems. As the world's energy demand still increases, many countries are investing in solar power generation. As solar energy is seasonal and depends on sun rise the only requirement is to receive acceptable irradiation to generate power. Shading occurs when clouds, buildings, or any other obstacle makes solar irradiance to do not reach solar modules. In this paper review, we will develop some experiments based on simulations of solar performance at different shading patterns. The experiments were made at ACE-ESD (African Centre of Excellence in Energy for Sustainable Development) under UR (University of Rwanda), college of Science of Technology in the city of Kigali.

Keywords : Solar generation, MPP, shading, irradiance.
