Abstract

This chapter deals with the application of sensitivity analysis to solar systems which have the potential to mitigate some of the contemporary issues prevalent throughout the globe. The purpose of such analysis is having enhanced thought of the associations between input parameter and output parameter and improved communication from modelers to decision makers by making recommendations more credible as well as understandable. One-factor-at-a-time (OAT) technique has been employed which involves moving one input variable, keeping others at their baseline (nominal) values, then, returning the variable to its nominal value, and then repeating for each of the other inputs in the same way. Further, sensitivity figures have been calculated as the ratio of percentage change in output to the percentage change in input and compared. Higher the sensitivity figure, higher will be the impact of the corresponding input variable over output of the system. It helps the designer of the solar system as the designer knows in advance the relative importance of particular input parameter on the output of the solar system. Based on discussion, susceptive conclusions have been presented.
