Effect of Tilt and Azimuth Angle on the Performance of PV Rooftop System

Abstract:

This paper focuses on to evaluate technical performance of PV roof top system. This system totally consists of 168 polycrystalline modules in which 14 are connected in series and 12 are connected in parallel. The total capacity of the system is 50 kWp, in which each module has the rated power capacity of 305 Watt. This system is connected to three 20kW inverters and which intern is connected to grid. Tilt angle and orientation is obtained by MATLAB 7.10 and PVsyst software for each 15⁰ change in tilt angle, the variation in solar irradiance absorbed by the PV modules, variation in energy produced by the modules and the variation in the final yield are observed. MATLAB software is also used to find the curve fitting by using surface fitting tool. The result showed that at 15⁰ tilt and 45⁰ azimuth angles, the maximum yield and effective energy were obtained as 4.65 h/day and 1394 kWh/kWp/year respectively.
