Popis: The aim of this paper is to present an evaluation of the performancerate of four different photovoltaic techniques in the Saharan environment. The purpose of this study is to investigate, analyse, discuss and illustrate the most effective of the different photovoltaic cell technologies (monocrystalline(𝑚 − 𝑠𝑖), amorphous silicon (𝑎 − 𝑠𝑖), poly-crystalline silicon (𝑝𝑐 − 𝑠𝑖) and cadmium telluridethin film(𝐶𝑑𝑇𝑒 − 𝑇𝐹) ) installed in Ghardaia which is located in southern ofAlgeria’s Sahara desert. In order to choose the most suitable technology in the Saharan climate conditions, the energy values produced by the plant were compared to those found by the PVSYST sizing software. The results show that thin-film and amorphous silicon panels produce low illumination, so they are the best choice for the Saharan environment.
