Solar Home System Design

This document summarizes the design of a solar home system to power loads totaling 37.5 watts per day. It specifies: 1) A 12V, 55Ah lead-acid battery to provide 3 days of autonomy based on a daily load of 90Wh. 2) A 40Wp solar panel to charge the battery, with 20% additional capacity to account for losses. 3) A charge controller rated for the panel's 3.17A short circuit current. 4) A 52W inverter sized to handle the maximum 3.47A DC load at 12V.
