Abstract

The software “PV Excel Jaén V3.0: Calculation of the energy harvested by a grid-connected photovoltaic system” is an educational tool which aims to help in the design and sizing of a grid-connected photovoltaic installation. This tool simulates its performance and provides results that enable students to evaluate several aspects such as: generator voltage and current, energy balance, and environmental impact.
