The photovoltaic (PV) system or solar power plant is a renewable energy generator that uses solar energy as the primary source without the use of fuel, its expected lowering the Levelized Cost Of Energy (LCOE). The PV system's performance is determined by the value of solar radiation; thus, a prospective plan for the appearance of solar radiation must be examined to decide the configuration of PV system equipment under various conditions. Demand response exists to avoid high investment costs in PV system planning by changing end-user power consumption patterns from normal to reduced patterns using a peak clipping strategy. A total of 25 peak clipping scenarios for the potential solar radiation emergence were implemented in eight schemes, and the most optimal scenario was discovered in each scheme for the potential solar radiation emergence. The feasibility cost of investment/ Net Present Value (NPV) and low LCOE values found in solar radiation exposure schemes over three consecutive days for a year are $755,669.80 and $0.286/kWh, respectively.
