Sustainability Analysis of PV Solar System for Making Heritage Net Zero: A Review

Abstract

Since the last 50 years, non-conventional energy has been the focus of study due to the depletion of traditional fuels. The focus has been on solar energy, which is widely accessible on earth and offers several benefits over traditional energy sources. Solar Photovoltaic and Solar Thermal are the two methods for using solar energy. The sun thermal impact is relevant to the present work being done by Solar Drying. The demand and energy consumption of the mechanical wing, as well as the voltages and currents of the PV array and batteries, were all continually monitored. The daily supply and total energy of the PV array and batteries, which reflected the effectiveness of the PV system, were computed using these values. The effect of occupant activity on the system's performance was also taken into account. The PV system was also found to continuously power the mechanical wing irrespective of the sky condition during the weekends. However, on a cloudy weekday, the load was disconnected from the PV system during the evening demand period due to low battery power.
