AC Needs and DC Requirements

Efficiency

of an inverter = 0.9
Battery bus voltage = 24 V
Monthly energy used= 168.3
KWh/month

Required Battery Capacity

The

battery stores sufficient amount of

energy for 15 days.

Nominal
the

battery capacity = 0.9

depth of discharge of the battery =

85%

Number of Batteries Needed

Selected

battery capacity rate =305 Ah

Selected

battery capacity voltage = 12V

The Total Battery Capacity

The

total battery capacity is determined in Ah.

Number

of batteries in parallel and Ah

capacity of selected battery is used.

Required Array Area

The

efficiency of the battery = 0.9

PV cell efficiency and average

insolation data is used to calculate

daily

Total amount of energy PV can convert to

electricity per day
Which is used to calculate the required PV
array area.

Required Array Area

A PV system with a 30 tilt

Real angle 30 + 15 = 45

Required Number of Panels

Required Number of Panels

Price

of a battery bank (including 4 batteries)= 1460$

Price of an inverter = 1032$
Price of a panel = 320$
Number

of Batteries= 28
Number of inverters = 1
Number of panels = 13
