Abstract

Today, India is in the developing stage and the requirement of electrical load demand is increases day by day, to meet these load demand existing available resources have some limitation to fulfill these demand. So, solar energy plays a major role in the generation of electricity, as it is a clean, inexhaustible and environment friendly resource compared to all renewable energy sources. This paper gives idea about how to select the solar power plant for the electrical load demand and also provided analysis of 5 kW grid connected roof top solar plant. The grid-connected system was synchronized with the commercial grid with the help of net meter for electricity transfer under no load condition. The monthly energy generation by proposed grid connected roof top solar power plant is calculated.
