Abstract
This paper investigates the performance of Solar PV system in a hybrid grid-connected system. This grid-connected system assumed to be built in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia western region. To model and assess the potential of this system, HOMER software was used. Renewable energy resources, technical aspects, economic and sensitivity analysis were investigated. Generally, the results showed that the system in the selected has a low LCOE. However, the technical and economic analysis showed that there are several factors (Potential of RE resources, power output, and increasing in load demand and electricity prices) that have a significant impact on system’s power production, NPC, and LCOE.
