Abstract

Solar energy is quick creating source of energy in all over the world. The total installed solar power in India till 30th April 2020 is 34811.78 MW. This paper presents the study of load requirement in mechanical department office in engineering college Bikaner and accordingly, designing and installation of stand-alone solar PV System. Analysis of performance ratio and losses has also been done using PVsyst simulation software. The average annual energy requirement in the department of mechanical engineering office is 1086.24 kWh and the energy available through solar panel is 1143.6 KWh, whereas energy supplied to the user is 1068.12 kWh a little less than the required load. The reduced power capacity of the system is because of different kinds of losses. The performance ratio analysis reveals that the highest PR was recordedin themonth of December is 86% and lowest PR,64% was obtained in the month of April, whereas the average PR for year is 72.8%. The reduced power capacity of the system is because of different kinds of losses.
