Abstract: Energy is the main player in the community’s development in several aspects. Palestine is an occupied developing country which has a complicated energy sector. Renewable Energy (RE) resources are considered the optimal practical solution to mitigate or resolve the energy crisis in Palestine. Most of Palestine receives solar radiation about 3000 hours annually, and the average solar radiation values range from 5.4 kWh/m2.day to 6.0 kWh/m2.day. These results of solar radiation, in addition to the absence of political restrictions on the use of solar energy technology, make solar energy the most viable and feasible choice among other renewable sources. This work objective is to introduce a comprehensive review of the solar energy prospects in Palestine, its geographical data, applications, legislative, and economic potential in contrast to established projects and modules. This review is based on introducing analyzed information about solar energy characteristics in Palestine, Applied solar systems and technology, the policies and legislation, and a recap of strengths, drawbacks, and recommendations. Results showed that best locations for PV solar energy exploitation are Gaza and south West Bank, and worst is Jericho, which leads to resolve many developmental issues in both rural and urban areas.

Abstract: The modules mismatch loss and strings mismatch loss in PV module is theoretically and universally recognized in the PV industry [1]. But for specific projects, how to calculate these losses as well as how to reduce the impact of these losses through external rational wiring was rarely studied. In this paper, the engineering calculation method will be summed up and the relevant formulae suitable for engineering calculation or equipment configuration principles such as cables can finally be obtained by constructing the DC side equivalent circuit model of the photovoltaic power station, and also calculating of modules and strings mismatch loss data based on circuit analysis, which can in turn provide the essential theoretical basis for the accurate efficiency calculation of the photovoltaic power plant system and provide certain theoretical support for engineering drawing optimization design as well.
