performance of PV systems. It aids in system design and fabrication process by evaluating the size specifications and choices of different solar power system components like solar panel array, charge controller, PV inverter and battery bank in addition to identify any losses in system. Solar simulator also calculates the impact of varying orientations that tilt angles on system working. The capacity to determine the cost as well as payback time period of domestic and industrial projects is a critical aspect of solar simulation software. Essentially, solar simulation software assists engineers in creating efficient but cost-effective PV systems.
