It also covers batteries, charge controllers, inverters and different applications of solar PV systems, including solar lanterns, home lighting, and street lighting. The document provides details on the materials used in PV cells, benefits of solar PV systems, and color coding of wires. It concludes that the practical training enhanced the author's technical knowledge of solar PV systems, components, and applications.
Residential photovoltaic power systems can generate electricity from sunlight to meet some or all of a home's energy needs. These systems connect to the electric utility grid to provide power when solar is insufficient and allow excess solar power to be exchanged. Battery backup can provide backup power during outages. Proper system design, installation, and compliance with codes are necessary to ensure safe and efficient operation.
To design a solar PV system, you first determine the power consumption demands by calculating the total watt-hours per day needed for loads. You then size the PV modules to meet the total watt-hours by calculating the total watt-peak rating needed and number of modules. Next, you size the inverter to handle the total watts of appliances and size batteries based on total watt-hours used per day and days of autonomy. Finally, you size the solar charge controller based on the total short circuit current of the PV array. An example is provided to demonstrate how to apply these steps to design a system for a house with various appliances.
The document discusses off-grid and on-grid solar power systems. It describes that off-grid systems include solar panels, batteries, controllers and often inverters to provide power without being connected to the electric grid. On-grid systems are connected to the electric utility and include solar panels, inverters and grid connection equipment to supply excess power to the grid. The document provides details on components, how the systems work, advantages and applications of both off-grid and on-grid solar power systems.
This document summarizes a seminar presentation on the design of solar PV systems. It discusses the types of solar PV systems including grid-connected and off-grid systems.

2. TypesofSolarPanelSystems
Solar panel systems may be categorized into four primary types. These
types of systems may be designed to meet all or part of the user's
electrical requirements:
1. Standalone DC System
2.Standalone AC-DC System
3.Backup AC System
4.Utility Interconnected System (Grid-tied)
3. 1.Standalone DCSystem
Standalone type systems are usually a
utility power substitute. They generally
include solar charging modules, storage
batteries and controls including a
charge regulator. A small standalone
DC system is an excellent replacement
for kerosene lamps and noisy
generators in a remote home, a
recreational vehicle, or a boat. In this
system a photovoltaic (PV) array
charges the battery during daylight
hours and the battery supplies power
to the loads when needed. The charge
regulator terminates the charging when
the battery reaches full charge.
4. 2.Standalone AC-DCSystem
This system is the same as the previous
system, except for the use of a DC to AC
inverter. With the addition of an inverter,
commonly available household appliances
such as computers, power tools, vacuum
cleaners, washing machines and kitchen
appliances can be solar powered.
High quality DC to AC inverters are available
with power outputs ranging from one
hundred watts to ten kilowatts and more, and
conversion efficiencies greater than 90
percent. Most larger inverters also have the
ability to serve as battery chargers from a
backup generator when more power is needed
than can be supplied by the solar modules.
5. 3.BackupACSystem
A backup AC solar electric system will
usually have a photovoltaic (PV) array of
ten or more modules, a battery bank, and
one or more inverters. The utility will
backup the solar and run the loads when
available and needed. If utility power fails,
the power from the battery bank is
available to the system.
6. 4.UtilityInterconnected System(Grid-tied)
These are the simplest systems
and require no batteries because
they are designed not for backup
power but to contribute power
back into the existing power
supply. A typical system might
include solar modules, a mounting
structure, and AC inverter/control
for the power to be fed back
through the building's
120/208/240 volt AC power
distribution system.
