Abstract


This paper presents the analysis of results obtained from continuous monitoring of a 100 kWp solar photovoltaic system installed on the rooftop of academic building, Poornima University, Jaipur, Rajasthan (26.90˚ N and 75.80˚ E). The system was monitored between 3rd April, 2016 and 30th April, 2016. The energy generated was fed into the existing power grid and the respective building loads through SMA inverters. Daily, monthly performance parameters of the plant evaluated which includes: Final yield (YF) ranged from 1.62 to 5.58 h/d, Reference yield (YR) ranged from 4.32 to 6.92 h/d, system losses, Inverter efficiency, Capacity Utilisation Factor (CUF) was found to be 0.178, and Performance ratio (PR) ranged from 31.90 to 96.0 %.
