Comparative Analysis of SAM and PVsyst Simulations for a Rooftop Photovoltaic System

Abstract

Turkiye is a country rich in renewable energy resources, one of which is its tremendous potential, especially in solar energy. Investments in photovoltaic systems are increasing day by day in order to evaluate this potential The simulations of these systems, which will be established while making investment plans, are very important in terms of investment return times. In this study, information and data were obtained from a working rooftop photovoltaic system and simulations were carried out using PVsyst and system advisor model (SAM) software. The simulation data was compared with the power plant's electricity generation data using statistical analysis methods of deviation, Root Mean Square Error (RMSD), and Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD). When all these analysis methods were evaluated, it was seen that the error and deviation values of the SAM software were lower on an annual basis. On the other hand, it has been determined that the error and deviation values of the PVsyst software are lower on a monthly basis.
