Abstract: It is very important to use a simulation tool for photovoltaic system to know the generating energy according to the geographical location and to choose the optimal operating for photovoltaic system. This paper study the impacts of geographical location on the output of energy from photovoltaic system (5 MW) particularly apply in Skikda and Atbara, to compare annual energy output in order to select the best site to connect with the grid. The comparison which has been, done using four methods for controlling the photovoltaic array, by PVsyst program. The results of simulation show the total quantity of electrical annual energy produced by photovoltaic system in Atbara is greater than that which produced with same system in Skikda, about 18.66%, 16.49%, 18.60%, and 8.93% of the energy injected into grid in Skikda for fixed tilt, seasonal tilt, tracking horizontal and tracking vertical respectively.
