You are an engineer given the task to design a grid-connected PV system for a factory owner located in Gurun Kedah. The factory has a flat concrete-slab roof with a length of 25 meters and width of 16 meters. You are specifically required to use the following brands: PV Module: JASolar 375W PERC Module Inverter: \( \quad \) Huawei SUN2000-20KTL Design a PV system to be installed on the factory's roof with the objective of maximizing the output power, on the condition that the system must have sufficient clearance so that any module is accessible without the need to step on other modules. Your design should contain the following information: - Installation orientation (portrait/landscape or combination) with proper justification - Recommended number of PV modules and inverters together with total installation capacity. - Location of inverters with appropriate justification - DC cable sizing (15 marks) Provide a Performance Ratio (PR) analysis after the first year of operation and after 10 years of operation. Provide reasonable explanation on the derating factors assumptions you make to calculate the PR.
