Abstract: Abstract This paper compares the observed and simulated performance of a 11.2 kWp grid-connected rooftop solar PV system installed in SOA (Deemed to be University), Bhubaneswar, India. The system consists of 40 polycrystalline silicon modules tilted at an angle of 21° facing towards the south. The performance parameters were measured during 2015 and were analysed by using two software tools: PVSyst and HelioScope. The measured annual energy generated by the PV system was found to be 15.33 MWh. The predicted annual energy yield by PVSyst and HelioScope with Meteonorm-derived data was found to be 9.2% and 14.75% higher than the measured value, but the predicted energy yield by HelioScope with ISHRAE data is in close approximation to the measured annual energy yield.
