Introduction
What is Solar Energy??

 Energy From the sun

 Heat & Light Radiation
 Clean & Renewable Energy
 During the day, solar cells in solar panels absorb
the energy from sunlight
 Circuits within the cells collect that energy and
turn it into direct current (DC) energy.

 Basic Knowledge of Solar Energy
1. What is the best facing for solar panel ?? 2.Which angle should tilt for solar panel??

 Solar panels work best when they face directly  Tilting the panels to face the sun’s direction optimizes
into the sun. the process of converting sun rays to electricity.

 If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, face  If you not adjusting your panels, set them at a tilt angle
them south. that is equal to your latitude.

Types of Solar Photovoltaic System
On- Grid or Grid-tied solar system
There are three types of solar power system.

1. On- Grid or Grid-tied solar system

2. Off- Grid solar system
3. Hybrid solar system

Hybrid solar system Off-Grid solar system

Solar Panels
 There are various types of solar panels such as monocrystalline, polycrystalline,
thin-film, PERC, concentrated PV cell and bifacial.

Mounting System
 Mounting system materials Steel (Carbon, Zn-AL-Mg) and Aluminum
 There are many types of solar mounts such as rooftop, ground, carpark,
greenhouse and floating.

 Rooftop Mounting System

There are various types of rooftop mounting system depend on the roof type.

Flat Roof Metal Roof

 Anchor Bolt Mounting System  L feet Tin Roof Mount
 Tripod Mounting System  Rail Free Roof Mount
 Ballasted Roof Mount  Standing Seam Metal Roof Clamp
 Ground Mount system with concrete footing  Adhesive Clamp

Inverters
 3kVA, 5kVA, 10kVA,15kVA, 25kVA, 50kW, 100kW, etc.
 Off-grid – PCS (Power Control System) Solutions / Container Solutions

How To Choose Inverters

 Solar system Size
 the design of your solar panels and array

Battery
A battery is a device that stores chemical energy, and converts it to electricity.
 Three common types of battery system : 12V, 24V or 48V system

(lithium iron phosphate)

 How to Design Solar System
Step1.Solar Survey Checkpoint
• Roof measurements and data (roof type, azimuth)

• Solar exposure through shading analysis

• Visual inspection of roof conditions and obstructions

• Information about Existing electrical system

• Load Consumption

 How to calculate system sizing??
Step 2.Calculate the system sizing??

Case Study1:URC factory has a total load consumption about 450kW. But they wanted to
install around 175kW load consumption as Phase 1.

Installed Load consumption= 170kW

Inverter Sizing = total peak load x 1.3
= 175kW x 1.3
= 230 kW
So, we can choose 110kTLx2nos but we chose 100kTL x 3nos on grid inverter for next Phase.
Solar Sizing = Inverter capacity x 1.25( between 1.2 and 1.3 is the perfect condition )
= 230kW x 1.25
=287 kWp
So, we choose (CAT) 380Wp x 756 panels.
