    Abstract

    In this paper, 500 KWp On-Grid Rooftop Solar PV plant installed and commissioned in 2018 at Guwahati Medical College Hospital (GMCH), Guwahati, Assam which is one of the largest in Assam is studied based on the information or the data in the report of Assam Energy Development Agency (AEDA) and its performance evaluation is carried out using PVsyst. Then we have compared the parameters with the one simulated by PVsyst for varying seasonal tilt i.e 20° in summer and 60° in Winter season and also for the fixed-tilt of 22°. Here the azimuth angle is taken 0° subject to the direction of the panel facing towards the south. The mean global horizontal radiation for the site is 4.72 KWh/m2/day with the average annual temperature is 24.6 °C. This study includes the design and performance analysis of the plant and then compares it with the obtained simulation values. The study uses different techniques and methods of a PV system for performance analysis and optimizes the operational behavior of PV systems.
