Metamodels for the Performance of a 1-kWp Grid-Tied Residential Mono-Si Solar PV System with Net-Metering in Metro Manila, Philippines

This study aims to create metamodels for the annual energy production of a l-kWp grid-tied mono-Si residential solar PV system with net-metering and the annual net energy sourced from the grid in terms of the plane tilt, azimuth angle, and thermal loss factor. The metamodels were created from the simulation results in PV syst 7.2 based on a Latin hypercube space-filling design generated in JMP Pro 12. The metamodels can be used to determine the setup that would maximize the annual energy production of the solar PV system and minimize the net energy from the grid so that the household can save more on the electricity bill.
