What is Solar Energy Lab?

Simulate solar radiation, photovoltaic (PV) efficiency, and renewable energy potential for any building rooftop or site.

Solar Radiation Metrics

Quantifying solar potential requires understanding three types of radiation:Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI),Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI), and Diffuse Horizontal Irradiance (DHI).

NiyamX utilizes high-resolution meteorological data (EPW/NSRDB) to calculate the Solar Yield (kWh/kWp)for your specific geographic coordinates.

How to Size a Solar PV System

Step-by-step professional workflow for rooftop solar potential estimation.

1

Analyze Monthly Irradiance

Determine GHI and DNI values for the 12 months using the NiyamX climate dashboard.
2

Calculate Rooftop Area

Input the available clear area (m²) excluding parapets and obstacles.
3

Standardize Tilt & Azimuth

Set panels at optimal tilt (approx. Lat + 5°) and Orient due South (180° Azimuth) whenever possible.
4

Estimate Annual Yield

Apply Efficiency Factors (typ. 18-22%) and inverter losses to get total kWh per year.

Technical FAQ & Regulatory Compliance

1
What is the optimal tilt angle for solar panels in India?

As a rule of thumb, the tilt angle should be approximately equal to the latitude of the location. For Mumbai (19°N), a tilt of 15°-20° south-facing is ideal for maximum annual yield.

2
How do I calculate the Number of Panels for my house?

Divide your monthly electricity usage (kWh) by the average daily sun hours (typ. 4-5 hours) and the panel wattage (e.g., 500W). NiyamX automates this based on your specific location and roof area.

3
Does the tool account for Shading Losses?

Yes. By integrating with the NiyamX Shadow Analysis tool, you can see how nearby buildings or trees reduce your solar energy generation during certain hours of the day.
