Abstract

Rajasthan is an enriched solar radiation state with on an average radiation intensity of 6–7 kWh/m2/day along with more than 300 sunny days per annum. PVsyst simulation software platform is used to design 15.6 kW grid, integrated solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant at Rajasthan district at 25° of latitude. During the investigation, the average global horizontal irradiation and PV plant performance ratio was found to be 5.02 kWh/m2/day and 74.80%, respectively. In our study, we take all power losses such as irradiation, soiling, temperature, wiring, inverter, power electronics, interconnections, and grid availability into account. The array nominal energy at standard test condition was 29,616 kWh, but after considering all above-mentioned losses in to account only 23,451 kWh of energy is injected into grid, and rest 6165 kWh are lost. This 23,451 kWh grid-injected energy generated by solar PV plant is in clean form and saves the consumer 23,451 units of electricity bill.
