dc.descriptionIn various places of the world grid-connected and off-grid rooftop solar PV systems have been installed, either to export energy to the grid or to reduce electricity bills in an industry, hospitals, etc. A 201.96 kWp solar PV plant with 7, identical 25 KW offgrid inverters was installed in the Chitwan Medical College, Chitwan.
dc.description.abstractIn various places of the world grid-connected and off-grid rooftop solar PV systems have been installed, either to export energy to the grid or to reduce electricity bills in an industry, hospitals, etc. A 201.96 kWp solar PV plant with 7, identical 25 KW offgrid inverters was installed in the Chitwan Medical College, Chitwan. The plan of the study was to carry out the performance analysis of installed multi-crystalline solar panels for a period of one year and to evaluate the results with the results simulated in the PVsyst. The generation data has been extracted using the Wattmon Cloud Portal. The main aim of this work was to evaluate and determine various performance characteristics of an already-existent solar system that has been installed at Chitwan Medical College, Chitwan. It was found that annual energy generation of 236.99 MWh, Performance ratio was 79.80 %, Capacity Utilization Factor 13.58%, and specific Yield was 1173.24 kWh per kWp per Year. The difference between the actual and simulated generation (54.30 MWh) suggests there may be factors impacting the system's performance. These could include equipment inefficiencies, shading, maintenance issues, or inaccuracies in the simulation model used.
