For a 5kW street lighting load requiring 10 hours of power per day, the calculations show that 31 batteries rated at 200Ah each would be needed to provide 2 days of autonomy. To charge the batteries, 92 solar panels rated at 200Wp each would be required to generate 111,111Wh of energy per day accounting for efficiencies in the batteries and charge controller.

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
