Performance Evaluation of Community Based Solar PV System

Abstract

Abstract Building an energy system for an individual household can require high capital and also the replacement and maintenance of such system can be a tedious work. To reduce such kind of stress on an individual, we propose a small power production system for a community. In doing so we will be able to limit the power dependency on the grid. This kind of system is heavily depended on the Battery as the solar panel that generate the power will be in a central place that belongs to the whole group of people. The batteries of individual household will be charged in the central station and the excess of energy will be sent to the grid. A DC system line is also introduced to reduce the system complexity. The Common Solar panel system consist of the Solar Panel, structure, battery charging station and an inverter with grid synchronization. The above-mentioned solar structure products require maintenance and continuous monitoring, thus reducing the initial capital cost that has to invested by an individual. The individual’s capital investment will mainly revolve around the batteries and the DC system, which means the invested cost is almost halved from owning an independent solar panel system.
