Comparison of 160 kwe spp and pvsol program estimated productiondata

In this thesis study, a solar power plant with 160 kWe AC power and 196.56 kWp DC power, installed on 3 roofs of a dairy farm in Yamuklar village of Yozgat Province Yerköy district, using 432 panels with 455 Watt power, was modeled in the PVSOL program. During the modeling phase, all the products used in the facility were used exactly the same, and the layout plans were modeled to be the same as the current situation in the field. The actual production values of this facility, whose installation was completed and started producing energy in December 2023, were included in the study with the help of the mobile application of the remote data tracking system in the facility. These actual production values were compared with the estimated production values obtained as a result of the simulation in the PVSOL program. The comparison was made for the first ten months of 2024 (January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October). While the total real production value for the first ten months of 2024 is 240 930 kWh, the estimated production value in this period in the PVSOL program is calculated as 250 278 kWh. It was determined that there was a 3.75% difference between the production value obtained from the PVSOL program and the actual production value. The reasons for this difference have been examined and the reasons for these differences have been mentioned through examples.
