Abstract :
The paper deals with high performance photovoltaic pumping system design. The design methodology is based on efficiency and de-rate adjustment factors related to system components. Solar energy and other requirement meteorological data are computed from satellite data. Finally the economic study is done based on the Life Cycle Cost method and technicoeconomic optimisation is added in the model.
