Design and analysis of 1.0 KVA grid-connected micro-grid PV-Systems for a residential setting in Delta State, Nigeria

Abstract

The design and analysis of the 1.0 KVA solar systems was based on a thorough load assessment, precise calculation of required solar panel quantity, proper battery selection and appropriate inverter sizing. The purchase included a high-quality complete solar panel with an impressive rating of 180 W, along with two dependable 200 Ah solar batteries, a reliable 800 W inverter and a durable charge controller. These elements were meticulously put together with essential protective mechanisms such as cut out switches to ensure optimal performance and safety standards for the anticipated power output of 1.0 KVA. To optimize sun exposure for efficient energy collection, the strategic installation of the solar power consist of 6 x 180 W solar panel,2 x 200Ah battery connected in parallel and 1.0 KVA power inverter. Based on the design analysis, this well-planned setup is expected to effectively fulfill all electrical requirements even in situations without access to central power supply, presenting itself as a dependable and sustainable solution for off-grid or unreliable power scenarios.
