DESIGN OF A HYBRID SOLAR SYSTEM

Abstract

The increasing demand on independent energy sources moves the scale of solar systems from large industrial solar farms providing to medium size farms suitable for businesses and small household-based systems. In contrast to the large solar fields providing hundreds of megawatts, the medium and small ones vary from several to several hundred kilowatts and do not have to meet industrial requirements. The lowered price of solar equipment allows designing a solar system that meets the custom needs of the users. To design such system a knowledge of the specifics of the solar systems is of the highest importance. This paper aims to present a design approach to build custom solar system, provide seamless operation 24/7.
