Analysis of Power Output Impact on PV Rooftop System Under Different Installation Positions by PSCAD

This paper aims to simulate power output impact of different installation positions of PV rooftop system. The methods are to investigate the influence parameters which are tilt angle of PV array, roof azimuth, and irradiance losses. For investigation, the connections of PV array in various forms are proposed. In addition, the results are analyzed to describe the relationship of a recommended maximum power point tracking. In this paper, the using PSCAD is validated for simulation of maximum power point on various PV arrays. The results demonstrate that the methods have a high accuracy in the simulation and allow the design of an appropriate location for the installation of PV rooftop system.
