Abstract

Energy savings has become the essential part for the growth of any country. India is targeting the generation of electrical energy by the non-conventional resources. In this part, the solar energy is most popular among all non-conventional energy resources; and hereby, the techno-economic analysis of the grid-type roof-top photovoltaic (GRPV) system becomes important for system forecasting. This paper present energy & economic analysis of 100 KW GRPV system. This GRPV system is designed and constructed at NITRA, Ghaziabad, India. The step-by-step-based approach for the energy & economy analysis is covered in the presented study (specifically for GRPV system). Also the embodied energy (EEin) calculation and benefit–cost–savings analysis are covered in the study.
