Abstract


This paper has as objective to describe the use of SOLAR 1.1 software to
design a system for supplying a part of the electric demand of a school
situated in Umbertide, comparing the use o SOLAR 1.1 to real results of a
system implanted yet. This software version helps also to conduce the
economic analysis for grid connected or standalone photovoltaic systems
for the choice of convenient values of investment rate and annuity factor
and it calculates the payback period of investment in the photovoltaic plant.

Keywords
