Design and economic analysis of a grid-connected photovoltaic system for different types of solar panels in Saudi Arabia using pvsyst software

This project presents a feasibility study of a grid-connected photovoltaic (GCPV) system in Al Juaima'h, Dammam, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, to reduce the electricity costs and CO2 emission. The proposed GCPV system is designed using PVsyst software. PVsyst is a PV design software that widely used...
