The depletion of fossil fuel resources on a worldwide basis has necessitated an urgent search for alternative energy sources to meet up the present day demands. Solar energy is clean, inexhaustible and environmentfriendly potential resource among renewable energy options. But neither a standalone solar photovoltaic system nor a wind energy system can provide a continuous supply of energy due to seasonal and periodic variations. Therefore, in order to satisfy the load demand, grid connected energy systems are now being implemented that combine solar and conventional conversion units. Solar photovoltaic option for meeting power demand at Pondicherry engineering college is fully theoretical based project. The main objective of this project are Meteorological data for the site ,Load forecasting at Pondicherry engineering college, Component selection ,Design layout of solar photovoltaic plant ,Testing and analysis of system design by using PVSYST software .Finally obtained electricity consumption by load forecasting technique can be validated by using PVSYST software
