DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF SOLAR POWER SYSTEM
Abstract
This project considers the-design and construction of a solar power system. The solar panel is constructed with the aid of 72 solar cells per panel and 6 panel rating 310 watts were used in this work. The batteries for this work is 200AH,12V deep cycle type were used. It is meant to supply current to 3.5KVA load estimated for a building. The solar panel constitutes five major components,which are the solar panel, solar charge controller, battery bank, inverter and electrical connectors and cable. The solar panel was constructed using the solar cell while other components were sized. The principle behind this project is that of photovoltaic effect. The system operates like a bank; with drawls from the battery to power the appliances can be compensated by commensurate deposit of er.ergy from the solar panels. The project was successfully carried out with aims and objectives achieved. It can now be of benefit to the building and companies, firms, school, workshop and anywhere electrical power supply.is needed.
