The renewable energy production continues to accelerate as the world recognizes the negative impact of fossil fuel consumption on the environment. Among the renewable energy technologies, there has been rapid growth in the use of solar PV systems in the last two decades. The solar PV technology has been widely used to provide green and sustainable energy both in single households and various institutions. Researchers in educational institutions are currently attracted by this technology as it is economically competitive with conventional forms of electricity generation. The aim of this study is to design and assess the potential of a grid-connected solar PV system on the rooftop of an educational building in Morang, Nepal. The performance of the system, which can satisfy 100 % of the energy needs of the campus, is simulated using PVsyst and the results are analyzed. The simulation results show that a 48 kWp solar PV power plant would fulfill the total annual energy demand of 66.009 MWh of the campus; the solar array can produce 75.9 MWh/year of energy. The economic analysis of the proposed system is carried out using PV*SOL software, while the environmental analysis is performed using PVsyst. The environmental analysis shows that the proposed PV electricity generation can save 76.3 tonnes of carbon dioxide production. Hence, this green campus design will be a significant step towards transforming academic campuses in Nepal into energy-efficient and environmentally sustainable communities. an abstract of up to 250 words for all articles. This is a concise summary of the whole paper, not just the conclusions, and is understandable without reference to the rest of the paper. It should contain no citation to other published work. Include up to six keywords that describe your paper for indexing purposes. Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even if they have been defined in the abstract.
