Distributed Solar PV System for Industrial Applications in Palestine

The paper presents the simulated and field tests of several distributed solar PV systems for industrial applications in Palestine. These systems generate solar power for self-consumption in lighting and air conditioning in a production line of a factory when solar energy is available. They do not feed the excess PV power to the grid. They will be switched to grid power supply when solar energy is not available. These systems started to operate after 2015, and implemented over rooftops in high potential regions in Palestine such as Jerusalem and Ramallah.PVsyst software with meteorological database Metronome 7 was used to make suitable forecast. Field results were compared with the simulated values of production. These results are verified each other and gave satisfied results with respect to >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
