DESIGN AND INSTALLATION OF 7.5KVA SOLAR POWER SYSTEM IN
Abstract
The 7.5KVA solar system was determined by load assessment, solar panel number determination, battery requirement and then inverter sizing. Eight solar panel rated at 350W each was however purchased, together with four (4) no. 220A solar battery, 7500W inverter and also 60A charge controller. These were assembled together with necessary protective gadgets like cut out switches; to give the 7.5KVA expected. The solar panel was mounted outside the Departmental building to allow for maximum collection of sun energy. It is expected that the system will help the department meet up with its office duties even when central power is not available.
