Question: The above loads were gotten after a careful power audit of 15 different sites
from a particular solar Company in your area.
The duration of usage for each of the load is specified in the above table
The peak sun hours in the location is 7 hours
Take the voltage drop as 1.3
(I) Calculate the size of inverter that will successful power each of the above loads
(II) What is the real power of each of the inverter size
(III) Calculate the number of lead acid solar batteries that will successfully run the
above loads considering the duration of usage of each of the load as provided
in the table above.
(IV) Calculate the number of lithium solar batteries that will successfully run the
above loads considering the duration of usage of each of the load as provided
in the table above.
(V) Calculate the number of solar panels that will be used to successfully charge
the solar battery bank for each of the load in the above table using the
parameters as stated above.

Your ability to do this assignment is an indication that there is no size of solar system
installation that you cannot design. Goodluck
