Description
Summary:Basically this report contains the objectives of the project, problems statement, the scope ofstudy, methodology used, results and discussion of the project. Nowadays, solar becoming one of the energysourcefor human life. Solar energyfrom the sun can generate electricity for the daily life usage. The conversion from solar energy to electrical energy is achieved using a photovoltaic (PV) system. For a solar system to operate, the minimum components required are the solar modules, storage system, control elements and loads. Solar modules are made from semiconductor and will convertthe light energyfrom the sun into electricity. Storage systemis used for the purpose of storing energy produced by thePV arrayduring the day, andto supply it to the electrical loads as needed. Storage system alsoneeded to operate the PV array nearits maximum powerpoint, to power electrical loads in stable voltages andto supply currents to electrical loads and inverters. Control elements are used to accommodate the variable nature ofpower from the PV modules and to avoid the malfunction of the system. Loadwill be any appliances that used electrical power as a supply.
