For 5kW street lighting load the parameters are-

Load calculation-

Parameters Specification Unit


System voltage= 48 V
Load requirement= 5000 W
Use hours= 10 hrs
Total energy required per day= 50000 Whr/day

Battery calculation-

Parameters Specification Unit


So amount of charge required= 1041.6666666667 Ah/day
Depth of discharge= 50 %
So total charge required considering DoD= 2083.3333333333 Ah/day
Autonomy required= 2 days
So for 2 days of autonomy,Charge required= 6250 Ah
Each battery rating= 200 Ah
No. Of batteries required= 31.25

Solar panel calculation-

Parameters Specification Unit


Efficiency of battery = 80 %
So amount of energy fed to the battery from MPPT= 100000 Wh/day
Efficiency of MPPT charge controller= 90 %
So energy from solar panel required= 111111.11111111 Whr/day
Hours of sunshine= 6 hrs
So PV module output= 18518.518518519 W
Each panel rating = 200 Wp
Total no of panels required= 92.5925925926
