Abstract

This paper deals with various aspects relating to designing and sizing of a stand-alone photovoltaic (SPV) system. A typical case study of designing and sizing of a SPV system for a location in Bhubaneswar, India, is presented. The system sizing presented in this paper primarily deals with meeting the daily electrical requirements for a residential house.
