DESIGN AND ESTIMATION OF SOLAR PV SYSTEM FOR EDUCATIONAL CAMPUS

This paper discusses the potential of implementing solar panels at rooftops of the blocks at Institute of Technology, Nirma University (ITNU) to harvest solar energy. The design is conducted using HelioScope simulation tool, specifying all the mechanical parameters and the electrical components used in the proposed PV system.The expected system power is estimated to be at least 2 times the campus energy demand and around 8% decrease in AC consumption due to shadowed rooftops
