rarr To calculate the back up time of batteriesrarr To calculate the charging current for batteriesrarr To Calculate Charging time for batteriesrarr UPS Rating for load requirement and much morehellipBefore starting We recommend to read this Article about Solar panel installation and Photovoltaic PaneSelection for home

PV Types of Solar Panel and Which one is the best PV Panel

Now lets beginSupposeLoad = 800 WattsInverters Rating =Required Backup time for batteries = 3 HoursRequired No of Solar Panel =No of batteries =

SolutionInverter should be greater 25 than the total Load800 x (25100) = 200800+200 = 1000 WattsThis is the rating of the UPS (Inverter) Now the required Back up Time in Hours = 3 HoursSuppose we are going to install 100Ah 12 V batteries12V x 100Ah = 1200 WhNow for One Battery (ie the Backup time of one battery)1200 Wh 800 W = 15 HoursBut our required Backup time is 3 HoursTherefore 315 = 2rarr ie we will now connect two (2) batteries each of 100Ah 12VIf the number of batteries given and you want to know the Backup Time for these given batteries thenUse this formula 1200 Wh x 2 Batteries = 2400 Wh 2400 Wh 800 W = 3 hoursSo this is a 12 V inverter system Now we will install two (2) batteries (each of 12V 100 Ah) in Parallel

Why Batteries in Parallel not in SeriesBecause this is a 12Vinverter System so if we connect these batteries in parallel then the Voltage ofbatteries (12 V) remains same while itrsquos Ah (Ampere Hour) rating will be increase(Remember In parallel Connection Voltage will be same in each wire or section while current will bedifferent ie current is additive eg I1+I2+I3hellip+In = 100Ah +100Ah = 200AhIn Series Circuits Current is same in each wire or section while voltage is different ie Voltage is additiveegV1+V2+V3hellipVnFor The above system if we connect these batteries in series instead of parallel thenThe rating of batteries become V1+V2 = 24V while the current rating would be same ie100Ah We will now connect 2 batteries in parallel (each of 100Ah 12V)Therefore for 2 Batteries200 Ah 12VNow Required Charging Current for these two batteries (Charging current should be 110 of batteries Ah)200Ah x (110) = 20ANow the required No of Solar PanelsP = VIP = 12V x 20 AP = 240Watts This is our required watts for solar panel (only for battery charging and then battery will supply power tothe load)Now240W60W = 4 Solar panels Therefore we will connect 4 Solar Panels (each of 60W12V5A) in parallel

This was only for battery Charging (and then battery will supply power to the desired Load) ie for thoseelectrical appliances which will get power through inverter (from charged batteries)Now suppose there is some (Directly connected to the panels through inverters (without battery) loadabout 10A which we have connect directly to the solar panel (No batteries required)In this case required current (20 A for Batteries Charging and 10 A for direct connected load throughInverters during sunshine only but batteries will be also charging while panel supply power to the directconnected load In this case total current20A + 10 A = 30ANow I = 30 A then required PowerP = V x I = 12V x 30A = 360Watts(This is for both Direct Load and Batteries Charging)Now36060W = 6Therefore we will Connect 6 No of Solar panels (each of 60W 12V5A)And We use Charge Controller about ampere rating ie the charging current for 200Ah battery is 20-22Amperes (22A (For Battery Charging)+10A(for direct DC Load)hellipSo we can use a charge controller about30-32 Amp Note this calculation is base on ideal case so it is recommended to always choose a Panel some biggerthen we need Because when Solar Panel charges the battery so it is wasting some power on charging toothis is another Circuit Diagram for the above Calculation for Solar Panel Installation

No matter because this calculation is based on Current for Load so if 380 instead of 220 thencurrent will be slightly decreased ltbr gtBecause if you increase Voltage then current decreases( rarr P = VI )ltbr gtSo Keep in Mind Load only

Dear ABltbr gtif you want to charge only batteries through solar panel then the total wattage ofbatteries bank = (12V x 100Ah) x 6 batteries = 7200WH ltbr gtand the charging current for these 6batteries = (100Ah x 6) 10 = 60A ltbr gtNow = 12V x 60A = 720W (This is the required wattagefor batteries charge only)ltbr gtNow the required no of solar panelltbr gt720 180 =4ltbr gtSoyou need to

rarr To calculate the back up time of batteriesrarr To calculate the charging current for batteriesrarr To Calculate Charging time for batteriesrarr UPS Rating for load requirement and much morehellipBefore starting We recommend to read this Article about Solar panel installation and Photovoltaic PaneSelection for home

PV Types of Solar Panel and Which one is the best PV Panel

Now lets beginSupposeLoad = 800 WattsInverters Rating =Required Backup time for batteries = 3 HoursRequired No of Solar Panel =No of batteries =

SolutionInverter should be greater 25 than the total Load800 x (25100) = 200800+200 = 1000 WattsThis is the rating of the UPS (Inverter) Now the required Back up Time in Hours = 3 HoursSuppose we are going to install 100Ah 12 V batteries12V x 100Ah = 1200 WhNow for One Battery (ie the Backup time of one battery)1200 Wh 800 W = 15 HoursBut our required Backup time is 3 HoursTherefore 315 = 2rarr ie we will now connect two (2) batteries each of 100Ah 12VIf the number of batteries given and you want to know the Backup Time for these given batteries thenUse this formula 1200 Wh x 2 Batteries = 2400 Wh 2400 Wh 800 W = 3 hoursSo this is a 12 V inverter system Now we will install two (2) batteries (each of 12V 100 Ah) in Parallel

Why Batteries in Parallel not in SeriesBecause this is a 12Vinverter System so if we connect these batteries in parallel then the Voltage ofbatteries (12 V) remains same while itrsquos Ah (Ampere Hour) rating will be increase(Remember In parallel Connection Voltage will be same in each wire or section while current will bedifferent ie current is additive eg I1+I2+I3hellip+In = 100Ah +100Ah = 200AhIn Series Circuits Current is same in each wire or section while voltage is different ie Voltage is additiveegV1+V2+V3hellipVnFor The above system if we connect these batteries in series instead of parallel thenThe rating of batteries become V1+V2 = 24V while the current rating would be same ie100Ah We will now connect 2 batteries in parallel (each of 100Ah 12V)Therefore for 2 Batteries200 Ah 12VNow Required Charging Current for these two batteries (Charging current should be 110 of batteries Ah)200Ah x (110) = 20ANow the required No of Solar PanelsP = VIP = 12V x 20 AP = 240Watts This is our required watts for solar panel (only for battery charging and then battery will supply power tothe load)Now240W60W = 4 Solar panels Therefore we will connect 4 Solar Panels (each of 60W12V5A) in parallel

No matter because this calculation is based on Current for Load so if 380 instead of 220 thencurrent will be slightly decreased ltbr gtBecause if you increase Voltage then current decreases( rarr P = VI )ltbr gtSo Keep in Mind Load only

Reply

05082013 at 1235 pmElectrical Technology

No matter because this calculation is based on Current for Load so if 380 instead of 220 thencurrent will be slightly decreased ltbr gtBecause if you increase Voltage then current decreases( rarr P = VI )ltbr gtSo Keep in Mind Load only

In your case The Power consumption and back up time of batteries it too much highthereforeSolar panel system would be too expensive So i recommend you to do the same with powercable from power grid instead of solar system
