Pre-feasibility study for solar photovoltaic system of residential non-teaching staff colony in RTU Kota

This paper present a prefeasibility study for solar PV system design calculation and potential assessment for residential non-teaching staff colony in the campus of Rajasthan Technical University(RTU), Kota, Rajasthan, India. This study show a 45 kW solar photovoltaic system with three different configuration which is grid connected with 0% backup, grid connected with 30% backup and third one is, off grid system or 100% backup, can generate sufficient amount of electrical power as compare to consumption and mitigate the energy consumption from grid supply as well as reduce the grid dependence. Financial analysis of these systems by assuming some parameters is also done in this study.
