Abstract: Background: Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology plays a critical role in Nigeria's transition to renewable energy, given the country's substantial solar potential. The performance of PV systems is significantly affected by environmental factors, including solar radiation, temperature, humidity, cloud cover, and seasonal variability. This study investigates the influence of climatic conditions on solar PV performance in Mubi, northeastern Nigeria, utilizing published monthly climate data and performance records from four 3.5-kWp grid-connected PV....
Keywords: solar photovoltaic, climatic variability, solar radiation, performance ratio, renewable energy.
