Feasibility Study of a Rooftop Solar System on ULAB Permanent Campus Building

In the context of the increasing integration of renewable energy into existing grids, rooftop solar system (RSS) is an exciting notion. It is becoming more and more popular in a densely populated nation like Bangladesh since it does not require a large open space like typical PV plants. However, a comprehensive feasibility analysis of the setting is required prior to installing grid-connected RSS at a given location. In order to do this, this paper provides a comprehensive method for evaluating the feasibility of a grid connected RSS system taking performance, economic aspect, losses, and environmental aspect into account. With a test RSS of 42 kW capacity, the proposed methodology is implemented in buildings A and B of the University of…
