Graphical Interface for Electrical Dimensioning of an On-Grid Photovoltaic System

Energy is an essential element in the development of mankind and is the engine that has made possible all the discoveries and innovations of recent decades. It is found behind the comfort we have in everyday life, whether at home, at the office, or when traveling: an optimal temperature in the room, light at anytime, appliances to ease us and make our lives more beautiful. An energy system based on renewable energy has the ability to provide electricity in an economical, sustainable, long-term, non-polluting way and can serve the increasing population. One such example is represented by photovoltaic (PV) panels, which produces electricity from captured solar energy and is one of the solutions considered for reducing energy. The dimensioning of a photovoltaic system, from a technical and economic efficiency point of view, involves the analysis of input data, output data and hence the characteristics of an efficient system. The analysis can be done analytically, but also with the help of dedicated software, the result being, in the end, a safe system in terms of preventive operation and maintenance. In the article was made the dimensioning of a system, analytical and automatic – using software application – to determine if the result obtained – the photovoltaic system – is the same regardless of the method used.
