PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT OF 5 KWP ON-GRID CONNECTED PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM USING PVSYST SOFTWARE

Abstract

The electricity obtained from the photovoltaic panel system depends a lot of many factors such as geographical location, solar radiation intensity, weather conditions, and orientation of photovoltaic panels. This article presents the detailed design and energy efficiency assessment of a 5kWp rooftop solar power system for households in Thu Dau Mot City, Vietnam using PVsyst software. The results of the project show that the average power output obtained in a year was 6.77 MWh, the generated power per kWp was 1324 kWh, the system efficiency factor was 81.4%. The topic helps to evaluate the pre-feasibility of a small-capacity solar power project, and at the same time promote the application of solar energy in life.
