PP Assignment

To generate the average annual electricity needs of an Indian household would require: - 38 square meters (388.8 square feet) of roof area covered with 8 mono-crystalline PV modules connected in parallel to produce 3600 Watts. - A 24V, 8544 Amp-hour battery bank to store the electricity generated and meet the household's daily demand of 427 Amp-hours. - This solar PV system would meet the household's annual electricity usage at a cost of around 13.08 Rs per kilowatt-hour over the system's 20 year lifetime.

Total AC Load = 7120 Wh

Equivalent DC Load = AC Load/0.85

Equivalent DC LoadAC = 8376.5 Wh

Total Load = DC Load + Equivalent DC Load

Total Load = 18324 Wh


Total Ams-hrs/day = DC Load / System Nominal Voltage

System Nominal Voltage = 24V

Total Ams-hrs/day = 381.75 Ampere Hours per Day

Battery Losses = 1 + Efficiency of PV Module

Battery Losses = 1.12

Total DC Ampere Hours Requirement = Total Ams-Hrs × Battery Losses

Total DC Ampere Hours Requirement = 427.56 Ampere Hours Per Day

Total PV Current = Total DC Current / ESH

Total PV Current = 71.26

Modules
Parallel Modules = Total PV Current / PV Maximum Current

Parallel Modules = 8

Series Modules = System Nominal Voltage / PV Maximum Voltage

Series Modules = 1

Total Modules = Series Modules * Parallel Modules

Total Modules = 8

Battery Capacity
Battery Capacity = PV Current * Res Days / Battery Usage

Battery Capacity = 356 Ampere Days

Or
Battery Capacity = 8544 Ampere Hours

Total Area
Total System Watts = Total Modules * Module Wattage

Total System Watts = 3600 Watts

Area = KiloWatts * 10

Area = 36 m2

Or

Area = 388.8 ft2
