SimulationAnalysis of 8kW Grid Connected Solar Rooftop Photovoltaic Power Plant in Davangere using PVsyst

Energy demand in India and especially in Karnataka state is continuously increasing, however the electric utilities failed to meet this load demand. Photovoltaic (PV) solar power plant is used for larger development of solar power generation. In a solar roof top system, the solar panels are installed on the roof of any residential, commercial, institution and industrial building. The solar roof top system may come up with storage facility using battery or grid connected. The roof top system with storage facility has a battery to store solar electricity and can be utilized during night when sunlight is not available. In grid connected roof top solar PV system, available roof top area on the buildings is used for setting up solar power plant and the DC power generated from solar photovoltaic panel is converted to AC power using solar grid inverter and is fed to grid during day time and in night when solar power is not sufficient, loads are served by drawing power from grid. In this research paper, Simulation analysis of 8KW grid connected photovoltaic solar roof top power plant at Davangere city is carried out using software PV Syst 6.60 and simulation results of energy output of array, energy output of inverter and energy injected into the grid are presented
