Solution

To design a solar PV system, we need to calculate the total daily energy consumption, size of the PV panel, battery storage, and inverter size.

  1. Total Daily Energy Consumption: We calculate this by multiplying the power rating of each appliance by the number of appliances and the hours used per day, then summing all these values.

    • CFL: 15W * 4 * 5h = 300Wh
    • Fan: 75W * 3 * 6h = 1350Wh
    • TV: 100W * 1 * 3h = 300Wh
    • Refrigerator: 150W * 1 * 12h = 1800Wh

    Total = 300Wh + 1350Wh + 300Wh + 1800Wh = 3750Wh or 3.75kWh

  2. Size of the PV Panel: The size of the PV panel can be calculated using the formula:

    Size = Total daily energy consumption / (sunlight hours * panel efficiency)

    Assuming an average of 5 sunlight hours per day and panel efficiency of 0.8, the size would be:

    Size = 3.75kWh / (5h * 0.8) = 0.94kW or 940W

    Since each panel is 80W, the number of panels required would be 940W / 80W = 11.75. Since we can't have a fraction of a panel, we round up to 12 panels.

  3. Battery Storage: The battery storage can be calculated using the formula:

    Battery size = (Total daily energy consumption * days of autonomy) / battery efficiency

    Battery size = (3.75kWh * 2) / 0.85 = 8.82kWh

    To convert this to Ah, we divide by the system voltage (usually 24V for a system of this size):

    Battery size = 8.82kWh / 24V = 367.5Ah

  4. Inverter Size: The inverter size should be greater than the total wattage of all appliances. In this case, the total wattage is:

    Total wattage = (15W * 4) + (75W * 3) + 100W + 150W = 600W

    Considering the inverter efficiency of 0.95, the inverter size should be:

    Inverter size = 600W / 0.95 = 631W

  5. Charge Controller Size: The charge controller size can be calculated using the formula:

    Charge controller size = Total PV power / system voltage

    Charge controller size = 940W / 24V = 39.16A

    Considering the charge controller efficiency of 0.95, the charge controller size should be:

    Charge controller size = 39.16A / 0.95 = 41.22A

So, the solar PV system should consist of 12 panels of 80W each, a battery bank of 367.5Ah at 24V, an inverter of at least 631W, and a charge controller of 41.22A.
