Oman is
actively reducing its dependence on non-renewable energy sources as the rest of
the world transitions towards renewable energy. Oman's renewable energy sector
has great promise, particularly in solar power, with several large-scale solar
PV projects underway. Rooftop solar is the optimal method for Oman to attain
its goals and address its current energy crisis. In this study, a solar PV
grid-connected energy generation system was built and simulated using the
PVSyst software. The solar photovoltaic system's technical, financial, and
annual performance is also shown. The technical analysis evaluates the system's
ability to perform, its effectiveness, and the anticipated amount of energy it
will generate. The economic analysis encompasses the initial capital outlay,
ongoing expenses, and the time required to recoup the investment. The proposed
solar photovoltaic (PV) plant model produces a total power output of 4.41
kilowatts peak (KWp) in the Ibra area in the North Al-Sharqiyah region of Oman.
This generated power contributes to decreased electricity expenses for both
residential and business use. Furthermore, renewable solar energy is a form of
environmentally friendly and sustainable energy, as it releases small amounts
of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This proposed concept aims to promote
the expansion of rooftop systems in Oman.
