Abstract

Grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems is one of the most promising applications of PV systems. Till now, no detailed studies have been carried out to assess the potential of grid-connected systems in Kuwait. This work investigates the feasibility of implementing grid-connected PV systems in the Kuwaiti climate. The proposed system consists of crystalline solar modules mounted on the building roof and an inverter to convert PV dc output to ac voltage. The building receives electricity from both the PV array and the utility grid. In this system, the load is the total electrical energy consumption in the building.
