Chapter 5: Discussion and Analysis

5.1 Introduction
In this discussion and analysis chapter, all detailed information regarding the topic of the entire
research paper will be critically analyzed. In addition, some numerical data along with some
specific information regarding the solar panel attributes in Nigeria will be critically discussed in
this discussion and analysis chapter of the entire research paper. Not only this, several aspects of
the solar panel such as inflation, FIT rate with inflation, Energy grid of the entire solar panel will
be critically analyzed in this chapter of the entire research. The energy export rate of an entire
solar panel in Nigeria will be also discussed in this chapter which will help the viewer to
understand the exact work processes along with the necessary components regarding the solar
panel in Nigeria.
5.2. Analyzation of Irradiation
The irradiation is basically considered as the power per a certain number of unit areas that
receive the necessary electromagnetic radiations of the Sun. According to the comment of
Blumenstein et al. (2020), in addition, it can be also said that this entire electromagnetic
wavelength is usually measured by the range of the wavelength which usually comes from the
Sun. The unit of the irradiation is usually measured in kilowatt per square metre (kWh/m2). It can
be easily said that for a solar panel this solar irradiance plays an important role which helps to
increase the performance of an entire solar panel. All the solar irradiation of the panel in Nigeria
is critically measured in the terms of hours. In order to accomplish this entire research paper, the
researcher takes data of the last 3 months to calculate all the solar irradiations. According to the
comment of Svoboda et al. (2020), All those measurements of the last 3 months will provide the
necessary information of an entire solar panel. In these 3 months, the latitude position of that
entire solar panel was nearly 55.3 which is the perfect position for an entire solar panel to gather
the necessary solar irradiation.

In addition, it can be also said that the entire decomposition rate of that solar panel for those 3
months was nearly 2.014 kilowatt per square metre (kWh/m2). According to the views of Mauk
et al. (2017), the average decomposition rate of that solar panel in daily aspect was nearly 1.25
kilowatt per square metre (W/m 2). All this information is gathered by calculating the
measurement on the basis of hours. In addition, it can be also said that in those 3 months the
entire irradiation process has been done nearly 56 hours per month. According to the opinion of
Fang et al. (2020), after discussing all those things, two aspects which are the most important
aspect for the solar irradiation which are the hourly values which are also divided into two
different parts which are - IG and ID. The entire measurement of these two aspects is usually
done through watt per meter square (w/m2). The total amount of the IG value for those 3 months
are nearly 1998 watt per meter square (w/m2) as well as the number of ID values for those 3
months are nearly 1268 watt per meter square (w/m2).

5.3 Analyzation of Slope Irradiance
The slope irradiance is one of the major aspects of the field of the solar panel. The slope
irradiance is basically considered as the tilt angle of the entire solar panel which helps to catch
the necessary sunlight to produce the necessary electric energy from that unlimited source of
energy. According to the opinion of Alzahrani et al. (2021), this tilt angle or the slope irradiance
is the most effective part which helps to measure all the necessary light as well as helps to adjust
the entire solar panel during the time of winter and summer. In addition, it can be also said that
the entire slope irradiance of the solar panel in those 3 months was measured through the
latitude, longitude as well as LSM aspect of the entire solar panel. Therefore, it can be easily said
that the latitude of the entire solar panel was nearly 56 degrees north positive. On the other hand,
it can be also said that the longitude of the entire solar panel was nearly 3.2 degrees west
positive. Not only this, the LSM of the entire solar panel was nearly 0 degrees west positive
which is the most effective part of the entire solar panel positive.
Apart from all these aspects, it can be also said that the entire surface of the entire solar panel
was margined or positioned in nearly 225 kilometres. According to the opinion of Davari et al.
(2017), in addition, the tilt angle of the entire solar panel was margined nearly 30 degrees on
those 3 months which helped the entire solar panel to gather the necessary sunlight which helped
to produce the necessary electric energy from the sunlight. Not only all these, but the amount of
Rho of the entire solar panel was also nearly 0.24. In order to measure the entire slope irradiance
of the entire solar panel, some features worked as major components which are - solar alt, solar
Azim, solar inc. , IDN as well as ERAD. Among all these aspects, IDN and the ERAD aspect of
the entire solar panel are measured as watt per meter square unit. Through those 3 months, the
EOT has remained stable at -0.06 which is one of the most important parts for the slope
irradiance measuring aspects.
Not only this, the DEC position is one of the major aspects of the solar irradiance measurement
aspect. In addition, in those 3 months, the position of the DEC remained in the same position
which is nearly -23.0. According to the opinion of Khanh, et al. (2019), the core term of the solar
panel is one of the most important aspects which help to determine the slope irradiance of the
solar panel. Like the EOT as well as the DEC position of the solar panel, the core term aspects of
the entire solar panel also remained in the same position which also helps to determine the solar
irradiance in a proper amount. In those three months all these components like DEC, EOT along
the core term remain the same which help to gather all the information regarding the solar panel
aspects properly.

(Source: Khanh, et al. 2019)
Apart from all these aspects, it can be also said that the entire solar alt aspect of the entire solar
panel was nearly -56.6 watt per meter square (w/m 2). According to the opinion of Furukawa, et
al. (2018), this solar alt aspect amount of the entire solar panel has remained the same in those
three months which help to measure as well as to conduct the entire analysis process of the solar
panel irradiance aspect. In addition, one of the major aspects of solar panel irradiance
measurement is the solar Azim. The amount of the solar Azim aspect was nearly 12.6 watt per
meter square (w/m2) in the very first month of the measurement. After the first month, the
amount of this aspect was changed on a huge scale which was nearly 35.9 and 55.4 respectively.
This increase of the solar Azim aspect describes that the production of electric energy from solar
energy was increasing on a huge scale.
At the end of all the measurement aspects of the solar panel, it can be easily said that solar inc is
also considered as one of the major aspects. According to the opinion of Ansper et al. (2018), in
addition, it can be also said that this solar inc aspect of the entire solar panel is usually helpful to
accomplish the entire measurement of the solar panel irradiance. Therefore, it can also be said
that the amount of the entire solar inc aspect of the entire solar panel was nearly 162.8 watt per
meter square (w/m2) in the first month from which the entire measurement has been started to
count. But this amount of the solar inc did not remain the same as the first month. In the second
month, this amount was changed on a large scale and the final amount of the solar inc on the
second month was 171.5 watt per meter square (w/m 2). Similarly, the amount of solar inc has
been changed also in the last month as compared with the first and the second month. The
amount of solar inc in the third month was nearly 165.7 which was greater than the amount of
the first month and less than the amount of the second month. All these changes of the solar inc
aspect describe that the production of the electric energy from solar energy was maintained
properly on a huge scale.
5.4 Final Analyzation of Panel Performance
Inflation is also considered as one of the major aspects which always control the performance of
the entire solar panel. According to the opinion of Magdaleno et al. (2020), this inflation rate
also helps to measure all the changes of an entire solar panel which may affect the performance
of an entire solar panel. In addition, it can be also said that inflation along with the FIT rate
inflation directly affects the generation income through the entire solar panel system. In addition,
all these inflation aspects of an entire solar panel also help to determine the need for maintenance
for any particular department of an entire solar panel.

(Source: Magdaleno et al. 2020)
Therefore, in order to accomplish the entire research paper, the inflation rate measurement of the
described solar panel plays an important role. According to the opinion of Liu et al. (2020), in
addition, it can be said that the inflation rate of the entire solar panel was nearly 1.03 as well as
the FIT rate with the inflation was nearly 4.08 which require nearly 146.18 million pounds as
well as it also requires nearly 77.66 million pounds for the maintenance purpose. All these are
the data or necessary information that were calculated in the first month. According to the
opinion of Alshammari et al. (2020), In addition, in the second month, the inflation was nearly
1.06 as compared with the first month. The FIT rate with the inflation of the second was nearly
4.20 and it required nearly 149.82 million pounds as well as it required 79.99 million pounds
only for maintenance purpose. In addition, the inflation rate of that solar panel was nearly 4.33
on the third month and it required nearly 153.34 million pounds as well as required nearly 82.39
million pounds only for the maintenance purpose.

Nigeria, this entire research paper has been created. In addition, an entire solar panel always
helps to make the necessary electric energy from a huge source of the natural source of water.
Due to this reason, the amount or the number of natural water sources like the number of
streams, rivers in Nigeria must have been increased. Not only this, the government of Nigeria
must have to increase all the technical, environmental as well as economical aspect by providing
the necessary environment and technology which will help to increase the energy power
production rate much more than previous. At the end of all this, it can be said that all these
