Solar energy is one of the most important and rapidly developing technologies in India. In recent years, India's attempts to increase the share of solar energy in electricity generation have led to the use of all renewable energy sources in electricity generation. It does not require fuel and has no negative impact on the environment. This research paper compared real-time data for off-grid and floating Photovoltaic (PV) systems. A stand-alone photovoltaic system assumes that a battery is used to store energy. He encountered a problem with the heating on the ground or on the roof, causing the panel's efficiency to drop. A floating solar panel is a novel solution to the problem of scarce land and rising panel temperatures in standalone systems. The efficiency of a floating PV system is higher than that of a stand-alone PV system because the water constantly cools the temperature of the floating solar panel. This paper explored the performance of both standalone and floating PV modules. The systems used the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) approach and the simulations were performed in MATLAB. Other MPPT algorithms are available, but this is the one uses the Perturb and Observe (P & O) technique. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Today, India is in the developing stage and the requirement of electrical load demand is increasing day-by-day. In order to meet these load demands, existing available resources have some limitations to fulfill these demands. As, solar energy plays a major role in the generation of electricity, as it is a clean, inexhaustible and environment friendly resource compared to all renewable energy sources, this paper gives an idea about how to select the solar power plant for the electrical load demand and also an analysis of 5 kW grid connected roof top solar plant has been provided. The grid-connected system was synchronized with the commercial grid with the help of net meter for electricity transfer under no load condition. The monthly energy generation by proposed grid connected roof top solar power plant is also calculated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
