Solar Photovoltaic System Design and Assessment a Southern Iraq Using Pvsyst Software

This study aims to design and evaluate the grid- connected solar photovoltaic in southern Iraq of city Shatrah. A design and feasibility study of rooftop solar photovoltaic system project is conducted using tools PVsyst and design software by inspecting project area by utilizing the NASA surface meteorology data through geographical coordinator of place. The performance of the system was simulated using PVsyst software and the results were analysed. The analyses of the simulation results show that the project yields energy about 15.05 MWh/year. The Photovoltaic simulation tool is important in predicting the energy production of the solar system.
