Types of stand alone PV configuration

Stand alone PV configuration can be divided into 5 categories.
1.Unregulated stand alone system with DC load. 2.Regulated stand alone system with DC load. 3.Regulated stand alone system with Battery and DC load. 4.Regulated stand alone system with battery, AC and DC load. 5.Regulated hybrid system with AC and DC load.
