To find out the size of battery, calculate as follows:Д¤.1 Calculate total Watt-hours per day used by appliances.Д¤.2 Divide the total Watt-hours per day used by 0.85 for battery loss.Д¤.3 Divide the answer obtained in item 4.2 by 0.6 for depth of discharge.Д¤.4 Divide the answer obtained in item 4.3 by the nominal battery voltage.Д¤.5 Multiply the answer obtained in item 4.4 with days of autonomy (the number of days that you The battery should be large enough to store sufficient energy to operate the appliances at night and cloudy days. Deep cycle battery is specifically designed for to be discharged to low energy level and rapid recharged or cycle charged and discharged day after day for years. The battery type recommended for using in solar PV system is deep cycle battery.

Auxiliary energy sources - is diesel generator or other renewable energy sources.

Load вЂ“ is electrical appliances that connected to solar PV system such as lights, radio, TV, computer,.

Battery вЂ“ stores energy for supplying to electrical appliances when there is a demand.Inverter вЂ“ converts DC output of PV panels or wind turbine into a clean AC current for AC.Solar charge controller вЂ“ regulates the voltage and current coming from the PV panels going toД«attery and prevents battery overcharging and prolongs the battery life.PV module вЂ“ converts sunlight into DC electricity.The major components for solar PV system are solar charge controller, inverter, battery bank, auxiliary energy sources and loads (appliances). Solar PV system includes different components that should be selected according to your system type, site location and applications. Solar PV system is very reliable and clean source of electricity that can suit a wide range of applications such as residence, industry, agriculture, livestock, etc. The electricity generated can be either stored or used directly, fed back into grid line or combined with one or more other electricity generators or more renewable energy source.

Solar photovoltaic system or Solar power system is one of renewable energy system which uses PV modules to convert sunlight into electricity.
