    The document summarizes the sizing calculations for a solar photovoltaic system to power an internet café with 8 low-energy computers running for 12 hours per day. It determines that the daily energy demand would be 3,168 Watt-hours to power the computers. Factoring in an inverter efficiency of 90% and inverter standby power, the total daily energy requirement is estimated at 3,580 Watt-hours. Based on this, the document sizes the battery at 497 Amp-hours with a 30% depth of discharge, requiring a PV array of 1,172 Watts to meet the energy demand. A cost estimate of $11,800 is provided for the full solar power system.
