| Abstract | ||
| According to the importance of using renewable energy sources, this study designs and simulates grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems in two Egyptian cities with varying climatic conditions, including temperature and humidity. These cities are Marsa Matrouh and Aswan, to study renewable energy generation under varying climatic conditions. PVsyst software was used to simulate solar systems, select grid components (such as solar panels, inverters, batteries, and other components), and measure energy production, losses, and performance ratios. Using HOMER software for economic and sensitivity analysis. The results showed a direct relationship between solar radiation and the maximum power point (MPP), as well as an inverse relationship between temperature and the MPP. The system lifetimes and efficiencies were carefully evaluated. The difference lies in the multi-faceted analysis that combines system design and climate impact assessment between the two cities. The study serves as a fundamental reference for the deployment of PV systems in climate-diverse environments. | ||
