Solar System Design

This document discusses the basics and design requirements of photovoltaic solar systems. It explains that solar modules generate DC electricity from sunlight which is stored in batteries. The design of a solar system considers factors like the site location, solar radiation data, load type and hours of operation, and battery autonomy. System designs are done using computer aided design packages and provide output sheets with input details. The design process includes sizing the solar array, batteries, and calculating the array to load ratio. A block diagram shows the basic components of a photovoltaic solar system including solar modules, batteries, controller, inverter, and loads.

Solar Power System


Sunlight is energy in the form of light. It is the fuel of a solar system. Solar modules generate DC electricity directly from sunlight. Charge controllers are the link between the modules, battery and load. They protect the battery from overcharge or excessive discharge. Batteries store the energy generated by the solar modules
