In this laboratory, we have learned Homer Pro software tools such as the optimum topology of the system, the optimum size of components in the system and operation cost and electricity cost, initial capital cost. Also we have done sensitivity analysis in HOMER PRO. The main advantage of HOMER Pro is that it is useful and simple to choose a topology for specific application by both economic and energy balance analysis. Also it was helpful that it can automatically download the daily solar radiation from internet directly from NASA.
