N2 - System Advisor Model (SAM) software was used to analyze a grid-connected solar photovoltaic system on the rooftop of the Student Union Building (SUB) at Texas Tech University. The SUB has an average daily load requirement of 7917 kWh/day, and the average load per year is 2.89 GWh. A simulation of a PV system under various load circumstances was conducted. A 327 Wp monocrystalline silicon module was utilized to reach a total power of 141.6 kW, using a rooftop area of 2168 m2. The system can provide about 12 % of the required energy for the SUB, resulting in energy cost savings.
