Energy Forecasting of Grid Connected Roof Mounted Solar PV Using PV*SOL

Abstract

Solar energy is renewable energy source which can be easily converted into electrical energy. This paper presents the selection of proper PV system, battery and inverter for a particular application for any location based on its climatic condition before implementing in real time. So before implementing the experimental set up, the entire system is simulated using any PV*SOL simulation software and the obtained results used to decide and modify the design of planned system. In this paper, a Grid coupled PV system along with electrical battery, electrical vehicle and consumption load is analyzed. Four PV module is used and each PV module uses different tracking systems. Production forecast with consumption, usage of PV energy, coverage of consumption of electric vehicle, battery, grid and other electrical appliances are analyzed by using PV*Sol.
