Losses1. The transmission of the radiation is
reduced because of reflection of the
protective glass sheet on top andabsorption in it, and
2. The packing factor. That is, the entirearea of the module is not covered by
the solar cells but there are large gapsbetween the adjacent solar cells.

Space Wasted by RoundSolar Cells Suppose that the radius of the cells is r. Then
the total area required to place four cells is: At = (2r + 2r) X (2r+2r) = 4r X 4r = 16r2
..(1) However, the area covered by the four cells,
the cell area, is: 4X ( r2) = 4 r2. Therefore, the ratio of the cell area to the
total area At, is: 4 r2 /16r2 = /4 = 0.7854.

Bypass Diodes If a module in a string fails due to some
reason, or comes under the shadow of someobject then the current in that module will
reduce drastically and will limit the currentfrom the other two which pass through it. Inshort the current through a string will reduce.In such a case the bypass diode associatedwith that module will allow the current topass through itself. For example if module D2fails then S2 will bypass the currentgenerated by D1 and D3.

Hot Spot Formation1. Hot spots in a module.
2. A module consists of a large number of
solar cells connected in series. If one cell isshaded and the module is either shortcircuited or connected to a heavy load thenthe current from the other cells will cause
i2R heat to be generated in it. The cellunder shadow will present a highresistance.

Hot Spots (continued)1. The other nine cells will approach open
circuit voltage Voc
2. This Voc will then be applied across theshaded cell and force a current in thereverse direction
3. This will not only reverse bias the junction,which may cause a breakdown, but alsoforce the current through its combinedseries and shunt resistors, R = (Rs + Rsh)

Assumptions
The following assumptions have been made:
The electrical efficiency of the circuit of the MPPT =90 %
The charge/discharge cycle efficiency of the battery(assuming new ones) = 90 %
The diode is usually a built-in part of the MPPT andtherefore neglected. However it is necessary to save
the circuit from accidental input voltage inversion. Wiring and cabling will introduce another 5 % loss.
7/31/2019 Design of Photo Voltaic Systems
27/55
Calculations
The energy requirement for 7 days will becalculated below.
Power required = 1000 Watts Therefore, energy needed for 7 days = 1000
W X 24 Hr X 7 days = 168,000 Watt hours. For an 8 hour sunlit day the energy given
directly to the load is: 1000 W X 8 Hr X 5 Days = 40,000 W Hr ----
---------------- A1 Since sunlight is available for only 5 days.
7/31/2019 Design of Photo Voltaic Systems
28/55
Calculations (Continued)
Hence, the rest of the energy must be storedin and supplied by the battery bank.
This energy is:
168,000 40,000 = 128,000 W Hr --------A2
Again, the charge discharge efficiency ofthe battery bank is 90 %. Therefore, the
energy supplied to the battery is: 128,000/0.9 = 142,222 W Hr -----------------
--A3

The size of the battery bank
If the voltage of the battery bank is 108Volts, as desired, then its charge is:
1, 42,222 W - Hr/108 V = 1316.87 Ampere
hours.-------- B1 Since it is assumed that the batteries must
retain 50 % of the charge after discharge,their charge holding capacity must be twice
this value. That is: Total charge = 1,316.87 X 2 = 2,633.75 A
Hr------------B2
7/31/2019 Design of Photo Voltaic Systems

Battery Sizing (Continued)
1. For 108 volts a string of 9 batteries, of 12volts each, must be used.
2. The charge capacity of each battery must be:3. 2633.75 A - Hr/9 = 292.6 A Hr.-----------B3
4. In case 300 A - Hr batteries, which are rare,
are not available then two strings of 9, 150 A Hr ones may be connected in parallel

Diodes D1 , D2 ,D3 and D4
1. At 108 volts the load current is:
2. 1000 W/108 V = 9.26 Amperes -----B4
3. Nominal voltage, during conduction,across them is 0.7 Volt.
4. Therefore both the diode will dissipate
9.26 A X 0.7 V = 6.8 Watts -----B5
7/31/2019 Design of Photo Voltaic Systems
33/55
Dissipation in Diodes
1. Each diode will conduct half thecurrent of 9.26 Amperes, that is, 4.63
Amperes2. Each diode, with 100 % overrating,
should be 10 amperes, 200 volts
3. Energy Consumed by Diodes:
6.8 W X 24 hrs X 7 days = 1,142.4 WHr -------------- B6
7/31/2019 Design of Photo Voltaic Systems
34/55
Dissipation in D3 & D4
Energy passing through D3 & D4 is:
1. 40,000 W Hr +1, 42,222 W Hr = 1,
82,222 W Hr --------- B72. This energy is passed in:
8 hours X 5 days = 40 hours -------------- B8
3. Hence the power is: 1, 82,222 W Hr/40 Hr
= 4,555.55 Watts -------------- B94. This amounts to: 4,555.55 W/108 V = 42
Amperes --------------- B10
7/31/2019 Design of Photo Voltaic Systems
35/55
Power loss in D3 & D4(Continued)
1. The voltage drop across the diodes is0.7 Volts.
2. Therefore the power dissipated in D3and D4 is: 42 A X 0.7 V = 29.53 Watts
3. Therefore energy consumed is:
29.53 W X (8 Hours X 5 days) = 1181W Hr --------------- B11
7/31/2019 Design of Photo Voltaic Systems
36/55
Total Array Energy
1. Thus the energy consumed by the fourdiodes is:
1,142.4 W Hr + 1,181 W Hr = 2,323.4 W Hr ------------------ B12
2. This must be supplied by the PV array.Therefore the total array energy rises to:
40,000 W Hr +1, 42,222 W Hr + 2,323.4W - Hr = 1, 84,545.4 Watt hours -----B13
7/31/2019 Design of Photo Voltaic Systems
37/55
Total Array Energy (Contd.)
1. This energy is given by the MPPTwhich itself has an efficiency of 90 %.
Hence the energy delivered at the inputof the MPPT from the array is:
1,84,545.4/0.9 = 2, 05,050.44 Watt
hours -------------- B14
7/31/2019 Design of Photo Voltaic Systems
38/55
Energy given to MPPT Input
1. As assumed earlier there is a 5 % lossin wiring and cabling, hence the output
of the array should be:2, 05,050.44 + (5 X 2, 05,050.44)/100= 2, 05,050.44 + 10,252.52 = 2,

. Array Size
This energy of 2, 15,302.96 W Hr isto be generated by the array in 5 days
with 8 hours of sunlight on each day.Hence the power of the array becomes:
2, 05,050.44 W Hr/ (8 hr X 5 days) =

Array Size
Average works out to:
0.635 X 900 W = 571 Watts ------- C2
Therefore the total size of the arraybecomes from C1:
5126.25 Watts X 1000/571 = 8977.67

Number of Modules
1. Since these modules are calibrated at 1000W/m2 their MPP value will reduce at 900W/m2. The real MPP voltage will be then:
34 X 9/10 = 30.6 Volts -------------------- C72. Therefore 3 modules in series will yield 91.8
Volts and the total number of modulesrequired for the array:
8977.67 Watts/150 Watts (Wp) = 59.85 = 60----- C83. Number of strings, with each strings
containing 3 modules is 60/3 = 20

Costing
The cost of the components can be tabulatedbelow:
Solar module @ Rs. 200.00 per Watt =
8977.67 Watts X 200 = Rs. 17,95,534.00 18 batteries, 150 A Hr, 12 Volts each @ Rs.
10,000.00 each = Rs. 1,80,000.00 MPPT and Charge/Discharge controller
= Rs. 50,000.00_
Total = Rs.20,25,534.00
7/31/2019 Design of Photo Voltaic Systems
45/55
Comparision
If a life time of 10 years is taken for the arrayand 5 years for the battery bank then thecost amounts to: Rs. 22, 05,534.00. In tenyears the electricity produced is equal to:
1 X 24 hours X 365 days X 10 years = 87,600kW-Hr. ------------- D1
Therefore the cost of this energy is: Rs. 22, 05,534/87,600 = Rs. 25.17 per kW
Hr --------------D2
7/31/2019 Design of Photo Voltaic Systems
46/55
Comparison (Continued)
1. At present the cost of domestic electricityfrom the grid is Rs. 4.60 per kW Hr
2. Cost of electricity from Diesel = Rs.12.50/unit
3. If the life span of the PV array is taken tobe 20 years, the PV generated power will
compete with diesel generated power

Design of Solar Pump
1. The pump horsepowerHP = (4.19 X 10-6) (GPD)(h) ---------- E1
(PT)(PTF)()
GPD is the gallons per day to be pumped,PT is the pumping time,PTE is the pumping time factor,h is the effective height and is the wire-to-water efficiency of the pump-motor combination.
7/31/2019 Design of Photo Voltaic Systems

Horsepower in MKS Units
In MKS, the horsepower is given by
HP = (3.658 X 10-6) (LPD)(h) ----- E2
(PT)(PTF)()
Where now LPD is the pumpingrequirement in liters per day
h is the effective pumping height inmeters.
7/31/2019 Design of Photo Voltaic Systems
50/55
Pumping Time Factor
Use of an MPPT in the system normallyincreases the daily volume pumped by
an additional 20%. Hence, a reasonabledefault value for PTF when a MPPT isused is 1.2 if the pump is connected
directly to the PV array, then the PTFwill be 1.0.
7/31/2019 Design of Photo Voltaic Systems
51/55
Pump Efficiency
The wire-to-water efficiency, , will bespecified by the pump manufacturer.
For fractional horsepower pumps, it istypically about 25% while larger pumpswill be more efficient.

Numerical
Numerical:
Specification for pumping system:
Volume of water to be lifted = 2000 gallons/day.
Water reservoir = 200 ft. underground
Worst case peak Sun day = 6 hrs.
PTF = 1
Peak Sun = 6 hrs.
Assume pump efficiency = 25%
Piping friction losses = 5%
7/31/2019 Design of Photo Voltaic Systems
53/55
Calculations
Therefore effective height = 200X 1.05 = 210ft.
Substituting in equation E1, pump HP = 1.17.However, the service factor is 25% for a 1HPmotor which means that a 1 HP motor canoperate at 1.25 HP without any damage toitself.
1.17 HP = 1.17 X 746W = 872.82 W.
Pump Operating DC Voltage = 96 V

Solar Array Calculations
Since this is the load, the solar arraywattage can be calculated as given in
section C above. It is important tonotice that the use of an MPPT in thesystem normally increases the daily
volume pumped by an additional 20%.Therefore, the final array size will beless by 20%.
