Modeling Photovoltaic System on Parking Area Using East-West Racking

Abstract

Parking lots are land that is always available in every building or office. There are only a small number of parking lots in the educational institution that has a top or roof cover that can protect parked vehicles such as rain and sun. The parking lot can be used to become a solar ground mount. This study uses satellite imaging and modelling in buildings to measure the potential of the energy produced. Solar PV in the parking lot in this study has an energy potential of 370.6 MWh per year, with the number of PV modules installed 818. Energy generated from solar PV in the parking lot can be used to support activities in the surrounding area.
