4. For the devices mentioned I above table, the total daily energy requirement is given by
E(wh) = 31270
Selection of Solar PV Panel
System Voltage = 96
Energy (AH) = E(Wh) / system voltage
=31270/96
= 325 Ah
The current to be generated by solar array is given by,
Iarray =
Total average daily load in Ah @ system voltage

= 69.26 A
5. The number of modules to be connected in parallel can be sound by using the following formula :
Np =
𝐼 𝑎𝑟𝑟𝑎𝑦
𝐼 𝑚𝑝
; Imp = current from solar module at maximum power
Np =

= 12.75 = 12
We take Np = 12
The next step is to be determined the number of module to be connected in series to obtain
desired system voltage . This number is found by using the following formula:
Ns =
𝑛𝑜𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝑠𝑦𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑚 𝑣𝑜𝑙𝑡𝑎𝑔𝑒
𝑛𝑜𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝑚𝑜𝑑𝑢𝑙𝑒 𝑣𝑜𝑙𝑡𝑎𝑔𝑒
=

24
= 4
The total number of module required to deliver the daily average energy (in Ah) at the system
voltage is:
Nt = Np * Ns
= 12*4 = 48
6. Sizing of Storage Battery
Required capacity of the battery bank in Ampere-hour,
C =
𝐸 𝐴ℎ ∗𝑁𝑎
ℇ∗𝐷𝑂𝐷
=
325 ∗2
0.85 ∗0.8
= 955.88 Ah
Where,
E = daily energy consumption (Ah)
ℇ = battery charging efficiency ( normally 0.8 to 0.95 )
Na = number of days to be operated without sunshine (Autonomy Days)
DOD = Depth of Discharge
Number of batteries in series = 8
Number of batteries in parallel = 4
Total number of batteries = 32
7. Hybrid Charger and inverter:
Rating = 2.5KVA @48V and another of 7.5 KVA@ 96V with MPPT type charge controller
This above two inverter is used for two different purposes. One for high rating equipment
and another for low rating equipment.
8. For The Grid Independent:
The total number of module required to deliver the daily average energy (in Ah) at the system voltage is:
Nt = Np * Ns
= 12*4 = 48
Number of batteries in series = 8
Number of batteries in parallel = 4
Total number of batteries = 32
Rating = 2.5KVA @48V and another of 7.5 KVA@ 96V with MPPT type charge controller
This above two inverter is used for two different purposes. One for high rating equipment and another
for low rating equipment.
The total cost for the system will be Rs.28,96,750.
10. For the grid dependent:
The total number of module required to deliver the daily average energy (in Ah) at the system voltage is:
Nt = Np * Ns
= 12*2 = 24
Number of batteries in series = 8
Number of batteries in parallel = 2
Total number of batteries = 16
Rating = 2.5KVA @48V and another of 7.5 KVA@ 96V with MPPT type charge controller
This above two inverter is used for two different purposes. One for high rating equipment and another for
low rating equipment.
The total cost for the system will be Rs.17,44,750.
