Abstract

The growth of PV systems is rising tremendously and playing a crucial role in achieving NetZero by 2050. Many countries started to use grid-connected PV systems to generate electricity. In the UK, there is remarkable growth in using PV systems, whether they are stand-alone systems or grid-connected. It is paramount to study how PV systems are contributing to achieving NetZero by 2050 in the UK. Thus, our main objective in this paper is to find how much energy is injected into the grid when 120MW of grid-connected PV power plants are installed across 4 regions in the UK, the carbon intensity calculation and the cost- effectiveness of a solar power plant. The computational simulations are conducted in PVsyst software.
