    solar energy generation validtion

    Hi, I m an electrical engineer and have recently started working in renewable energy.
    We have a rooftop 129.6 KWp solar power plant at Trivandrum, India. It has 720 panels of 180wp each. Panel area is 1.25 sqm.
    It has 3 PCUs, connected to 240, 216, &264 panels. Output is being fed to the internal 3-phase grid.
    We also have a davis VP2 weather station installed at his location to measure weather parameters.
    I would like to validate the performance of this SPV plant. I need advice on how to go abt the same.

    For your Davis station, you will need the Solar Radiation Sensor to establish a baseline, and compare that to the PV panels output.

    And you will likely need a local engineer to tell you the exact data you need to collect and how to process it.

    That's about all I know about what you are asking.

    Good Luck, Mike
