Abstract
This study examines constructing a photovoltaic solar system station with 2 MW electricity generation capacities; to supply Al-Hussein Bin Talal University’s premises (AHU); which located in the southern part of Jordan. The study examines different proposed design installations and discusses the potential economic impact resulting from this project. Monthly and annual irradiation estimates has been used to calculate approximately the expected energy production in kilowatts hours, other parameters such as size, electric cost, tilt angle, and azimuth angle were also examined. The study is extended to show the economic impact (energy savings, payback period, and return on investment) a solar installation of a 2 MW system size will benefit an institution in the southern region of Jordan (AHU)
