Abstract

So many remote or rural regions in India have energy crisis with limitations of existing coal based power generating units. With ever growing demand for electricity in India, new and renewable forms of electricity generation methods are needed. To overcome this problem, many researchers are trying to find alternate ways to generate electricity without harming the environment. One such way is to utilize the open roof tops of large govt building for installation of roof mounted solar panels. Generating electricity via solar PV system is a clean, renewable and sustainable as well as environment friendly .This paper is a case study and modelling of 100 kWp solar photovoltaic rooftop grid-tied systems at the site of Jabalpur engineering college, Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh state of central India. Site has the coordinates 23.19317761200415, 79.98711859871126. “PVsyst” software package is employed to study and simulate the performance ratio (PR), efficiency and various losses occurring during the operation of the PV system.

Keyphrases: Array losses, Loss Diagram, PV array characteristics, PVsyst software, Performance Ratio, Renewable, Rooftop PV system
