| description | The purpose of this study is to find the most profitable way to construct a photovoltaic (PV) system on a residential building in Amman by taking into account the local climate, the average monthly energy use, and the rates charged by the local electric utility. The building has a monthly energy usage of 550 kWh on average, with the biggest demand for energy occurring in the months of January and December and the lowest demand occurring in the months of April, May, and June. The photovoltaic (PV) system is mounted at a variety of angles, including 10°, 20°, 32°, and 54°. This study took into account the fact that the price of electrical energy is dependent on the demand for electricity in order to determine the periods of the day when there is the greatest need for energy. Another crucial aspect to consider is the sun's strength, which shifts during the course of the year. When solar intensity is at its peak and power rates are at their highest, a PV system is considered as a realistic choice to satisfy energy needs. This is because PV systems can generate energy even in cloudy conditions. A comprehensive examination of the solar energy that is taken in by a PV cell and the electric energy that is produced as a result of this is also included in the study. |
