Optimum Tilt-Pitch Analysis and Design of 25kW Grid Connected Solar PV System using PVSyst Software

Electricity generation through solar PV system is one of the significant contributors in the renewable energy. Solar PV can be considered as a viable option to meet the increasing demand. The efficiency of solar PV system depends on location as well as on angle at which solar panel gets installed. This paper describes the tilt-pitch analysis of 25kW grid connected solar PV system for location of Kurukshetra, India using PVSyst software. The data required for this study is taken from the meteonorm site. This software demonstrates total energy produced and system losses. This software also provides various user optimization tools to analyze the system. The paper deals with the various factor like system design, performance analysis and losses with help of various charts and tables. The performance ratio of the system calculated over the year is found to be 0.752 which shows that solar energy can be a good source of energy generation to meet the increasing daily demand.
