In the above figure, the Knee point is called
“maximum power point” (MPP). In the curve, Isc is
the solar panel circuit current in short circuit
condition & Voc is the solar panel circuit voltage
under open circuit condition.
IMP and VMP are those of tracking point for maximum
current and maximum voltage respectively and can
be track by MPPT system. Thus, the multiplication
of both IMP and VMP gives the condition of maximum
power for solar module as
PMAX = VMP * IMP watt
IV COMPONENTS OF SOLAR PV SYSTEM
A Grid-connected solar PV system consists of
following main components:
A. Solar photovoltaic (PV) modules and PV module
standards
Solar Photovoltaic modules are mounted on the roof
of any buildings and convert sunlight energy into
direct current. Photovoltaic modules are formed with
an array to get required voltage and current [8].
The PV modules must conform to the latest edition
of any of the following IEC /equivalent BIS
Standards for PV module design qualification and
type approval: Crystalline Silicon Terrestrial PV
Modules IEC 61215 / IS14286, Thin Film Terrestrial
PV Modules IEC 61646 / Equivalent IS (Under
Dev.), Concentrator PV Modules & Assemblies IEC
62108.
In addition, the modules must conform to IEC61730
Part 1-requirements for construction & Part 2 –
requirements for testing, for safety qualification or
Equivalent IS (Under Dev.)
PV modules to be used in a highly corrosive
atmosphere (coastal areas, etc.) must qualify Salt
Mist Corrosion Testing as per IEC 61701 / IS
61701[11]
B. Solar PV array support structure
Solar PV array support structure consists of
galvanized steel structures secure the solar PV
modules on the roof of any buildings.
C. Solar grid inverter
Solar grid inverter tied PV systems consist
of solar panels and a grid-tie inverter, with no
batteries. The solar panels feed a
special inverter know as Solar grid inverter which
converts the DC voltage coming from
the solar panels directly into AC power to match
the grid[6].

Other components of solar rooftop power plant are
cables, junction boxes, fuses etc. The expected life
of solar PV plant is 25 years.
V PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF PV SYSTEM
A. Inverter efficiency
The inverter efficiency appropriately called as
conversion efficiency is given by the ratio of AC
power generated by the inverter to the DC power
generated by the PV array system [5]. The
instantaneous inverter efficiency is given by,
η
inv,T= PAC / PDC
B.System efficiency
The instantaneous daily system efficiency is given as
PV module efficiency multiplied by inverter
efficiency.
η
sys, T = ηPV, T * ηinv,T
C. Energy output or energy fed to utility grid
The energy generated by the PV system is the
measure of energy across the inverter output
terminals for every minute. It is defined as the total
daily monitored value of AC power output and the
monthly AC energy generated [9].

The energy at the import side on 06/01/18 at
9:00AM is 854KWh & export side is 673.3KWh so
the energy injected into grid is 673.3 KWh.
The energy at the import side on 06/02/18 at
9:00AM is 2107.9KWh & export side is 1712.2
KWh so the energy injected into grid is 1712.2 KWh

The global horizontal irradiation is different for
different months in a year, it is maximum in the
month of March i.e., 208 KWh/m2 and minimum in
the month of November i.e., 126 KWh/m2. The
energy output of array is maximum in the month of
March i.e., 12.87 MWh and minimum in the month
of june i.e., 8.28MWh. The energy injected into grid
is maximum in the month of March i.e., 12.28 MWh
and minimum in the month of june i.e., 7.85MWh
IX CONCLUSIONS
The real time monitoring of 80KW solar PV power
plant located on the roof of a St. Peter’s Engineering
College building in Hyderabad city is carried out by
means of determining the engineering standards and
realistic constraints of design. The required shaded
free roof top area for installing such plant is found to
5250 sft. We study how to establish a real time
design, installation and monitoring of 80KW
photovoltaic solar roof top power and the meter
readings are recorded.
A performance monitoring analysis of 80 KW peak
grid connected solar photovoltaic power plant
installed at Hyderabad was evaluated on daily,
hourly basis. The following conclusions are drawn
from the study.

The energy output of PV Plant depends on
irradiation, solar cell performance, PV losses and
also dust deposited on the solar panels. It is
recommended to clean solar panels daily to avoid
dust deposition on solar panels that reduces the
energy output of PV Panels.
The global horizontal irradiation is different for
different months in a year; it is maximum in the
month of March and minimum in the month of
November. The energy output of array is maximum
in the month of March and minimum in the month of
June. The energy injected into grid is maximum in
the month of March and minimum in the month of
June.
The real time meter readings on import side and
export side of energy are recorded. The annual
average solar radiation at St.Peter’s Engineering
College is 5.67 kWh/m2/day. The real time energy
output of PV array on daily and hourly basis and
energy injected to grid are monitored. The energy
output and effect of losses is taken into account by
simulating 80KW grid connected PV system with
PV Syst.
