Solar Panel, Solar Inverter and Battery Selection for Solar Home System

Solar Panel, Solar Inverter and Battery Selection for Solar Home System

How does solar electric generation work?
Solar panel takes the sun’s energy and solar Inverter converts it into DC battery power to charge your batteries. Solar panel is the battery charger that works anytime the sun is out.
How to calculate your solar system need?
If you are just trying to run lights, Ceiling Fans and TV with solar power, it is not too hard to determine the number of panels and batteries yourself.
Suppose you need solar power system to run 5 CFL lights, 3 Ceiling Fans and one TV.

First, we find out the wattage of each of them.

1 CFL = 25 watts.

1 Ceiling Fan = 70 watts.

1 TV  =  200 watts

(lcd 24 inch =120 watts)

So, the Total Power Required (Load) = (5 x 25 + 3 x 70 + 1 x 200)

= 535 watts

Battery required = ( Total Load x  No. of Hours) / 12V

It gives = 535(watts) x 5(hrs)/12 V = 223ah

Inverter required = Total Load / P.F(power factor)

Average P.F (power factor) = 0.8

So it gives = 535(watts) / 0.8 = 669 VA

As neither inverter is 100% effiecient, so you should go with 700 VA Solar Inverter.

Solar Yachts

Solar Yachts

Solar Wave Yachts!

Solar yacht
Solar yacht

* Unlimited solar coverage at low speed and almost
all weather conditions – without fuel consumption
* Absolutely self-sufficient household, including cooking and cooling – without gas or
generator
* Significantly lower fuel consumption at speeds höherern
in the hybrid mode
* Silent operation
* Minimum maintenance
* Lower purchase and maintenance costs

A Solar Wave allows you a completely new nature and water sports experience.
Without noise or fumes.
The only footprints you leave behind are in the sand …

This system is easier to maintain and more cost effective than any conventional fuel-dependent locomotion and energy – and it offers more luxury, independence and reliability.

Solar Wave Yachts has developed a system to reduce the runtimes of diesel engines and power consumption to nearly zero. This system is modular and scalable. Whether you want to make only the budget “gas-free”, want more comfort and autonomy at anchor in a bay, change their yacht on solar-electric propulsion or a mega yacht noise predominantly and want to make any emissions – we have the right solution for you!

Rural electrification – Misplaced Emphasis

Rural electrification

Sharing a link to an article on rural electrification in one of the most respected weeklies  Economic & Political Weekly .

Here the analysis says  that solar power should also be propagated in the urban market. So that there is surplus electricity for rural electrifictaion. Reason is the urban user has easier access to maintenance and repair of solar systems.
