Solar OmniScriptum SRL Solar Energy for Pharmaceutical Factory Paperback

This book uses PVsyst simulation software to analyze the simulated performance of 126 kWp photovoltaic systems connected to a grid. This study examined the feasibility of installing a roof mounted photovoltaic system to supply HIKMA-Pharma pharmaceutical factory, 6th October City, Giza, Egypt with required electricity. The study was investigated first using Sketch-Up design tool to cover building roof area with solar energy system; hence it would be possible to estimate PV modules capacity depending on site geography data and PV modules specifications. The simulation is performed using PVsyst V6.6.8 software. Using Sketch-Up and PVsyst, the total suitable rooftop area for solar photovoltaic applications was found to be about 946 m2 and could accommodate approximately 126 kWp of 486 modules (260 W each) with a 25o tilt angel. All PV modules are grouped in parallel in 27 strings, 18 modules are connected in series in each string. Four inverters, 30 kW each, are used to interconnect the grid by net metering. In this study, Meteonorm 7.2 weather data from the PVsyst database were used for this position set of solar radiation and air temperature.
