Abstract
Recently, small-scale grid-connected PV systems are acquiring familiarity in institutions and industries mainly due to their clean and climate-friendly attribute. A 104 kW grid-connected PV system at Kattankulathur, Tamil Nadu, is discussed in this paper. A software tool is essential to estimate and predict solar energy power generation for a particular location. This paper mainly deliberates the design aspects using a suitable software tool for the grid-connected PV system. The best approach for designing and evaluating energy production in PV systems is PVsyst software. Therefore, this paper demonstrates the step-by-step procedure followed for creating the 104 kW PV system. The approach towards loss distribution and performance ratio analysis is also presented. This paper is proposed as a guide for the researchers working in this field of designing a PV system based on the load requirement.
