Summary:The work refers to the design of a photovoltaic plant that will be built near the city of Carbunesti (44.9580N; 23.5060E), a location that falls within the yellow zone of solar radiation. Based on the imposed power, the solar panels in polycrystalline silicon technology, the inverters and the connection transformer are chosen. Next, it is established the number of solar panels and how to connect them, so as to achieve both the required power and the voltage required at the input of the inverters. It also determines the required number of inverters, the structure and the number of independent energy fields, which are connected to the mains transformer by means of their own cells. The energy produced is also estimated, monthly and for one year, by using the dedicated application - JRC Photovoltaic Geographical Information System (PVGIS) - European Commission and by a calculation algorithm developed by the authors. The electrical structure of the plant is composed of 4 identical generating fields, consisting of 12 inverters and 1008 panels. Finally, some conclusions are summarized that highlight the positive impact on the environment, by reducing the amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere.
