The performance of a photovoltaic system depends on the geographical location and type of PV modules used. PV systems are useful in areas having good amount of incident solar radiation. This study is aimed at developing a standard procedure for the design of 1 kW grid-connected solar PV systems using the PVSYST Software. The project began with a broad database of meteorological data including global daily horizontal solar irradiance and also a database of various renewable energy systems components from different manufacturers. The average global horizontal irradiation is 5.28 KWh/m2/day. In this paper 1kW photovoltaic system is designed and simulated using PVSYST software for BGSB University rajouri, Jammu and Kashmir, India using meteo data of the location. The total amount of energy generated by the system and various losses occurring in the system are analyzed and presented. Performance ratio of the system over the whole year is estimated as 0.724. And it was found that, for a horizontal global irradiation of 1821.0 kWh/m2, the available energy at the inverter output which can be fed to the nearby grid is 1687 kWh with a specific power production about 1654 kWh/kWp/year.
