Design Solar System

This document provides guidance on designing an off-grid solar system for a home with an estimated daily energy demand of 103.5 Ah. It discusses sizing the photovoltaic panels, charge controller, batteries, inverter, and cables based on factors like equivalent sun hours, losses, and equipment specifications. The example system designed has two parallel strings of ten 12V batteries each, two photovoltaic panels in series, a charge controller rated for 60V and 10A, and a 222W inverter.

Let’s take an example :

Home has :

1
2) Losses

Eff. Of (cables+C.C+Battery) =
85%
3) Equavalent sun hours = 4.5 hr / day
4) P.V Arrays
Panel Specs
-Peak power = 745 / 4.5 = 165.6 watt Peak power (w) 100

-Number of Panels = 165.6 / 100 = Vmpp (v) 16


1.7
So Number of Panel = 2 Impp (A) 6.25
P.V Configuration
Parallel Series Vo.c (v) 20

Is.c (A) 7
I (max) = 7*2 = 14 V (max) = 20*2 = 40
A v
5) Charge controller design

When P.V is Parallel When P.V is Series Charge Controller Specs


V max 60
V max (C.C) > V max (P.V) …. V max (C.C) > V max (P.V) ….
True True I max 10

I max (C.C) > I max (P.V) …. Operational Voltage 12v / 24v


I max (C.C) > I max (P.V) ….
False True
MPPT Yes

So , Panels Should be in Series


6) Battery Design
Battery Specs
D.O.D 60 %
Total energy demand * auto. Days
Total Capacity of Battery =
Battery Voltage (v)
D.O.D * Operational Voltage* effeciency 12

= 103.5 Ah Battery Capacity (AH) 21

Battery in series Battery in


Parallel
= 24 /12 = 2 batteries = 103.5 / 21 = 5 So , Number Of Batteries = 2 * 5 =
batteries 10
7) Inverter Design

Where , Inverter Specs


Efficiency 90 %
Eff. = Output / Input AC Loads
only
Operational Voltage 24 v

So,
Min Power Rating = 200 w /
0.9

= 222.2
watt
Cables sizing :
0.3 * L(m) * I Max ( A)
S (mm ) 
2

Where : V (%)
- L >>> cable length .
- I max >>> max current of cable = 1.56 * I (load) .
- dV >>> 1 % to 5 %
Notes :

- Not excesses 3 % between Panels and charge


controller
- Not excesses 1 % between battery and charge control
-
Not excesses 5 % between charge controller and
Load
Layout :
So our system has :
1 string

- String gives 6.25 A


- The operational voltage = 24 V

-So we need
combiner box greater than 6.25 A
