Since a new Federal Law of the Russian Federation “On Electric Power Industry” has been adopted consumers with microgeneration systems can now sell excess electric energy. Consequently, more agricultural consumers got interested in using renewable energy installations. In this context, the study focuses on mathematical modeling of electricity output by a microgeneration system, in particular with PV panels, to assess the conceivable amount of electric energy that can be eventually sold. The authors built a model of the system tied to a grid for three options: fixed-tilt PV panels, PV panels with a solar tracking system, and concentrator PV systems. The findings analysis confirms that in order to maximize the electricity transmitted to the electric grid, it is rational to use solar energy concentrators with a Sun-tracking system.
