Design approach of sizing the rooftop photovoltaic plant based on the power consumption

摘要

Some problems related to the efficiency of rooftop or building integrated photovoltaic (PV) plants are studied in this paper. The economic performance of PV plants depends strongly on the support schemes and policy applied in the different markets. The status quo of Bulgarian electrical power market has been analyzed and a specific approach for sizing the rooftop PV based on the power consumption is presented. An analysis of power consumption of a particular public building is presented and the proposed approach is used for appropriate sizing of rooftop PV plant.
