This document presents recommended design practices for stand-alone
photovoltaic (PV) systems. Sixteen specific examples of PV systems, designed for
different applications, are presented. These include warning signals, lighting,
refrigeration, communications, residential, water pumping, remote sensing, and
cathodic protection. Each example presents a system sizing technique that can be
completed using the worksheets provided. The calculations are simple and
straight-forward. In addition to sizing calculations, each example includes information
about available hardware, wire sizes, and a line-drawing to illustrate
installation techniques. However, the focus of this document is the presentation of
a consistent system sizing technique.
Stand-alone PV systems operate reliably and are the best option for many
remote applications around the world. Obtaining reliable long-term performance
from a PV system requires:
• consistent sizing calculations,
• knowledge of hardware availability and performance,
• use of good engineering practices when installing equipment, and
• developing and following a complete operation and maintenance plan.
These issues and others are discussed in this handbook.
