This paper presents the complete model and design of a grid-connected Photovoltaic (PV) system to supply electric power for an apartment in new Assiut city, Assiut province, Egypt according to its energy requirements. This system can be installed on the roof and the south side of the building. Homer software is used as the sizing and optimization tool to determine the size and specifications requirements of photovoltaic system components, system cost and estimation of corresponding produced electrical power. Simulation results and analyses are presented to validate the proposed system configuration.
