Renewable energy use is still a viable option for people when it comes to protecting the environment and promoting sustainable development. This is the reason why some people in the commune of N’Zérékoré have opted for the use of solar panels as sources of energy. Although the use of these solar panels is considered an alternative solution to energy problems, it is clear that the performance of these solar panels after installation is negatively influenced by meteorological parameters such as temperature, humidity and precipitation. This Paper aims to highlight the dependence of meteorological parameters on the performance of solar panels in the urban commune of N’Zérékoré to allow users to make an optimal choice of solar panels on the market. To achieve this objective, a questionnaire survey was first carried out to identify the types of panels sold in the urban commune of N’Zérékoré. Then a method for evaluating the Variation in solar Panel performance by Standardization (EVRPS) was carried out. The results of the surveys showed the presence of 18 types of solar panels in specialized shops. The same trend was observed among users in the 16-neighborhood visited. Among the 18 types, 3 (Ulica mono, Felicity solar and Bosch solar) were respectively dominant in neighbourhoods and shops. Furthermore, we found 90 installations identified in households, 53 of which were functional (59%) and 37 non-functional (41%). Analysis of the results reveals that the performance and productivity of each type of panel strongly depended on temperature, humidity and precipitation. It has been proven that Ulica mono and Felicity solar types were the solar panels suitable to the forest region weather conditions. Therefore, this study suggests the sale and use of Ulica mono and Félicity solar” panels for the inhabitants of the urban commune of Nzérékoré.
