Abstract

This study explores the knowledge regarding unconnected solar energy systems, their configurations, and the effects of Iraq's warm weather. Furthermore, it investigates the advantages and disadvantages of implementing such systems in Iraq. The research recognizes the efficacy of off-grid solar energy systems and their potential to provide clean electrical energy to meet the needs of Iraqi citizens while reducing harmful environmental emissions. The study employs an applied research project to assess the operational efficiency of off-grid solutions. The PVSYST application was used to simulate the solar energy system data. The research aims to develop off-grid solar energy systems, assess the suitability of building roofs, examine how heat affects panel productivity, and evaluate the impact of shading on energy levels, among other objectives. The study also covers the components of solar energy systems and how to assess their quality to withstand Iraq's typically hot climate.
