Solar PV system Sizing-Off grid solar PV systems
Solar hybrid systems with battery sotrage are a mor reliable solution to the home owners and commercial building owners. It can be combined with the other sources such as diesel generators. This course teahces the participants on the step by step procedure for designing a solar hybrid system. The course is useful to the employees of EPC companies, first time solar investors, solar developers, and banks & financial institutions.
The course start with an introduction to the basic principles of financial modeling, and then continue with calculation of financial parameters such as IRR, NPV, LCOE etc related to solar projects. The course will also deminstrate the calculation of tax benefits such as accelerated depreciation benefits. The course will be based on financial modeling on an excel based tool which will be provided to the course participants as part of this course. The course will be built on case studies related to solar rooftop as well as groundmounted system cash flow analysis. The main topics covered in this course are as follows:
- Basics of grid connected/ off grid and hybrid systems
- off grid solar PV system configuration
- COmponents selection such as PV modules, inverter, battery, charge controller, etc
- load analysis and system sizing to meet the load requirement
- case study of a off grid system design on PVSYST
- Savings calculation/ profitability analysis
- monitoring and control of off grid solar PV systems
- Integration with Diesel generators
- opportunities in off grid solar PV for new entrepreneurs
- Off Grid System Installation
- System sizing off grid
- Off grid system maintenance
What you will learn : -
Basic principles of PV system sizing
you will be able to design the solar PV system for any of your off grid application
System sizing and component selection
System sizing and component selection using various tools such as PVSYST and other excel based analysis for load analysis of a stand alone solar PV system
Estimating savings and pay back period
You will be able to carry out the complete pay back calculation and profitability assessment based on the simple payback tool in excel.
Case studies of off grid/stand alone solar PV systems
You will be able to have practical applications of off grid solar PV systems
