Why solar
• Sustainable
• Off grid
• Noiseless
• Low maintenance
Status of energy consumption in India
Solar technologies
1.Solar thermal 2. Solar Photo-voltaics
Solar thermal
Directly uses the sunlight to heat through solar collectors
• Concentrators
Applications of solar thermal
Solar cookers
• Space heating
• Process heating
• Electricity generation
Principle
• Photovoltaic effect

Types of PV systems
panels

controller
load
batteries
Components of PV system
PV modules
• Regulates the voltage and current coming from the PV panels going
to battery and prevents battery overcharging and prolongs the battery
life.
Inverter
for AC appliances or fed back into grid line. Inverter capacities is expressed in kVA
Battery
• DOD is the percentage amount of energy that can be extracted from the total capacity of the
battery. It used to describe how deeply the battery is discharged.
• If we say a battery is 100% fully charged, it means the DOD of this battery is 0%.
• Fully discharge them to 100% DOD, it would shorten the cycle life of batteries
DoD
Days of Autonomy (DA)
• the number of days that you need the system to operate when there is no power produced by PV

Thumb rule: the battery voltage must match the panel voltage
= (2080 x 3) / (0.85x 0.6x 24)
=509.8 Ah
No. batteries = total battery capacity(Ah) / individual battery capacity(Ah)
=509.8 / 150
=3.4
= approx. 4 batteries
