IMPORTANT FORMULAS & NOTES

OHM’S LAW:

V=I*R

I->CURRENT(A)

R->RESISTANCE(OHM)

POWER:

P=V*I; V=P/I; I=P/V

P=V^2/R;

P=I^2*R

P->POWER(w)

UNIT FOR POWER IS WATTS

PROPERTIES FOR BATTERY/PANEL SERIES CONNECTION:

VOLTAGE->DIFFERENT

CURRENT->CONSTANT(SAME)

TOTAL VOLTAGE V=V1+V2.

PROPERTIES FOR BATTERY/PANEL PARALLEL CONNECTION:

VOLTAGE->CONSTANT(SAME)

CURRENT->DIFFERENT

TOTAL CURRENT I=I1+I2.

ARRAY LOAD = TOTAL DAILY LOAD(WH/DAY) / ( BATTERY EFFICIENCY*CHARGE

CONTROLLER EFFICIENCY)

ARRAY SIZE =ARRAY LOAD/(INSOLATION*MISMATCH FACTOR)
