Power = 3.9kW
Energy/day = 11.3kWh/day
Solar System Sizing Calculations:
1. Inverter:
Power required: 3.9kW
Inverter capacity: 4.2kW (suitable)
Inverter loss: 20%
Battery energy needed:
Power required * (1 + loss) = 11.3kWh * (1 + 0.2) = 13.6kWh
2. Battery (Lead-Acid):
Depth of Discharge (DOD): 50%
Battery size:
Energy required / DOD = 13.6kWh / 0.5 = 27.1kWh
Available battery capacity:
27.1kWh (usable: 13.6kWh/day)
Battery selection:
Battery 12 Volts and 200Ah
No. of batteries required = 27.1kWh/(12V x 200Ah) = 11 batteries
11 lithium ion batteries are sufficient
4. Input to the Battery (15%):
Battery energy + (Battery energy * loss) = 13.6kWh + (13.6kWh * 0.15) = 15.64kWh
5. Charge Controller (4%):
Charge controller loss: 4%
Input to charge controller:
Battery energy + (Battery energy * loss) = 15.64kWh + (15.64kWh * 0.04) = 16.3kWh
4. Solar Panel:
Panel energy output: 16.3kWh (considering charge controller loss)
Panel loss: 25%
Total panel generation:
Total generation = Panel output + (Panel output * loss)
= 16.3kWh + (16.3kWh * 0.25) = 20.3kWh/day
Total Power generation = Total generation / 6h (assuming 6hrs sunlight)
= 20.3kWh / 5h
= 4.06 kW
Number of panels:
Total Power generation / Panel power =
= 4.06 kW/550 = 7.3 panels (550W each)
Summary:
Load: 11.3kWh/day
Inverter: 4.2kW
Battery: 11 Li-ion batteries of 12V/200Ah each
Solar Panel: 7 Panels each of 550W
