Abstract
The need of electrical power at the school building may be partly fulfilled by solar PV power generation. The panels are installed on the rooftop of the building. For the purpose of optimal design of the generation system, PVSyst is employed for this task. This paper proposes the design of solar PV generation using PVSyst. The design result is then confirmed with the real system. Some adjustments will be carried out to align the design with the real system. For the design, the data of electric load is recorded. The capacity of solar intensity and other parameters were also recorded. With the data in hand, the design of solar PV generation may be carried out. The design was carried out using PVSyst. With the design results, the real system may be implemented referring the document of design. Since the capacity of the available panels is limited some implementation may not be completely implemented. Besides the contribution in the form of load sharing, this will be the tool for students to learn how the electricity may be produced using extensively available and free resources.
