The energy generated using solar photovoltaic (PV) system is an example of a clean sustainable power source. Because of utilizing PV solar panels as a sustainable power resource components of PV system such as an inverter turn out to be broadly utilized for this reason and keeping in mind the end goal to improve the desired maximum power from PV, distinctive strategies were utilized to accomplish the coveted power, where it turn into an extremely extensive to use diverse technique to accomplish desired maximum power from PV. The fundamental objective of this manuscript is to present the usage of a photovoltaic system installed at NISE, GURUGRAM of 100kw and to measure the performance of this system in terms of system life cycle solar radiation data will be used to gauge the early energy yield using PVSYS programming tool. The performance ratio of this PV system is also calculated based on the measured output power and the radiation intensity.

INTRODUCTION . Solar photovoltaic system is one of sustainable power source system which utilizes PV modules to change over sun radiation into electrical power. The power created can be either put away or utilized straightforwardly, encouraged once again into lattice line or joined with at least one other power generators or more sustainable power source.[1-2] Solar PV system is extremely solid and clean wellspring of power that can suit an extensive variety of uses, for example, home, industry, agribusiness, animals, and so on.

SOLAR PV Solar Photovoltaic (PV) is a technique for changing over sun ray illumination in to direct current power utilizing semiconductor that display the Photovoltaic effect.[3-4] Photovoltaic power age utilizes sun powered boards made out of various sunlight based cell containing a photovoltaic material. Materials directly utilized for photovoltaic incorporate mono crystalline silicon, poly crystalline silicon, indistinct silicon, Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) and copper indium gallium selenite/sulfide (CIGS) Due to the developing interest for sustainable power sources, the assembling of sun powered cells and photovoltaic framework has progressed significantly in ongoing years.[5]
