Abstract

In the work presented, the results of the online monitoring of a rooftop stand-alone solar photovoltaic (SPV) system with an installed capacity of 4.5 kWP have been reported. The method of analyzing the data acquired is in accordance with the IEC standard 61724, 1998. The online tracking was carried out using Schneider Electric’s Conext Insights platform. Data related to total PV input, battery charge, battery discharge, grid input, and load output were monitored and studied. This data was further used to calculate normalized parameters, including performance ratio (PR). The average value of PR system is 41.59%. The PR of the system provides a basis to compare it to other systems of interest. The results obtained are also useful for predicting future performance and maximizing capacity utilization of the system.
