DESIGN AND REINSTALLATION OF A 1.7KVA PHOTOVOLTIC SOLAR SYSTEM
Abstract
The installation of a solar photovoltaic system was preferred over the grid power system
because it is cost effective and eco-Iriendly. This study focused on the design and installation
ofa 1.7Kva stand-alone photovoltaic solar power system. Numerical approaches were used
lo optimize the hourly recorded weather and demand load data suing MATLAB. A market
Survey was carried out to determine the cost of designing and installing a 1.7Kva
photovoltaic solar system. A mono crystalline py module was the best choice. During
supply. determining the system size which includes sizing of the panels, battery bank, charge
controller, inverter and choosing the of electric cables to wire were taken into consideration,
After the analysis and design, the installation process was done. Solar panels were mounted
for charge regulations. Connection of the battery bank to the inverter for conversion of DC to
AC which was further connected to the output unit (0 power supply to faculty of
Engineering. The system was operational and (he results were satisfactory. Delay in
electricity supply during working hours is 4 major reason for the use of solar photovoltaic
system. The present work aims to address the issue of delayed electricity supply.
