<p><strong>Aim: </strong>The system was designed to produce 30.0 kWp of power, generating 49,622 kWh/year of energy, with a specific production of 1,654 kWh/kWp/year and a performance ratio of 81.01%.</p> <p><strong>Methods: </strong>In this study, PVsyst and Metronome software were used to design an integrated grid-connected photovoltaic system. The geographical location was determined using Metronome parameters: latitude 32.49°N, longitude 43.86°E, altitude 83 m, and time zone UTC+3. The module area is 195 m², while the cell area is 171 m².</p> <p><strong>Results: </strong>The system demonstrated its capacity to reduce carbon dioxide emissions significantly, estimated at 1,061.248 tons according to PVsyst software parameters. The results indicate good system performance and safe operation, enabling the supply of a substantial portion of electrical energy while simultaneously reducing reliance on fossil fuel sources.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>This highlights solar photovoltaic energy systems as a viable alternative to traditional fuels.</p> <p><strong>Recommendation:</strong> The significance of the system lies in its contribution to achieving environmental sustainability goals in Karbala, Iraq.</p>
