DESIGN AND INSTALLATION OF 3.5KVA SOLAR POWERED SYSTEM
Abstract
Solar energy less significant threat to human health, as well as the greenhouse effect and high maintenance costs of power generation systems. The study focused on designing and implementing a low-cost solar power inverter system with DC batteries that could supply 230V AC when completed. The design's operating principle is that when the sun shines on the photovoltaic cells, the cells convert the solar energy into a DC volt, which is then utilized to charge the battery via the charger controller, which regulates the charge. The inverter is powered by a battery that is attached to it. The inverter converts DC electricity from the battery to AC voltage, which may then be used to power appliances in the various departments when the installation is completed. The output voltage is shown on an LCD as an extra function. Finally, the designed system circuit was thoroughly tested and found to operate admirably. It will be able to accomplish the above functions properly at the end of this project. The performance of the 3.5KVA solar-powered system has been satisfactory, and it is performing as expected.
