AIM: Design a roof Top grid-connected Solar PV system for your home.
The design should be practical, cost-effectivve, and based on actual site
parameters.

SINGLE LINE DIAGRAM

1. Total Area of the Roof


The total available rooftop area for solar panel installation is approximately
21.78 square meters. This space is determined by on-site measurements
considering usable flat areas, excluding shaded or inaccessible zones like
those near water tanks or other protrusions. The area is suitable for flush
mounting the solar panels as per the project design.

2. Total Connected Load


1KW

3. Shading Consideration
Shading was a key parameter during the site analysis phase. The following
potential sources of shading were identified:
Water tanks and plumbing structures on the rooftop
Nearby trees (especially coconut trees and mango trees)
Surrounding buildings within 10–15 meters
To mitigate the impact of shading:
The solar panels were placed away from known shaded regions.
Design incorporated flush mount orientation to minimize elevation.
Monthly Shading Simulation was not performed digitally, but field
observation suggestedthat between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM, most of the
rooftop receives unobstructed sunlight
4. Solar Irradiation at Your Location
The selected weather dataset was from TMY, Trivandrum, ISHRAE (epw).
Based on this data:
- Average Global Horizontal Irradiation (GHI): approximately 5.2
kWh/m²/day
- Annual Irradiation: around 1898 kWh/m²/year
These values are consistent with solar irradiation maps from MNRE and
NASA's Surface Meteorology database.

5. Design of Solar Array (Series and Parallel Strings)


PV Module: ASB-M12-132-630 (Adani), 630 Wp each
Total Modules: 6 modules
Total Installed Capacity: 3.78 kW (6 x 630 W)
Configuration:
- String Size: 2 strings
- Stringing Strategy: Along racking
- Modules per String: 3 modules in series
- Parallel Strings: 2
This configuration ensures the inverter receives optimal voltage and current
inputs, supporting safe and efficient energy conversion.
6. Design of Battery Backup and Inverter
Inverter Model: SSP3115C 4kW (Bluesource)
Rated Capacity: 4 kW

Battery Backup: Not included in current phase


Although not implemented, a battery backup system can be added. If
designed, a typical battery sizing would be:
- Daily Consumption Assumed: ~8 kWh/day
- Backup Duration Required: 1 day
- Battery Capacity Needed: 8 kWh (with 80% DoD → 10 kWh system)

A lithium-ion battery pack (48V, 200Ah) would suffice. Additional inverter


compatibility checks would be required.

7. Cost Estimation

Estimated Cost
Description Quantity
Component (INR)

PV Modules 630 Wp Adani 6 ₹1,62,000

SSP3115C 4KW
Inverter 1 ₹40,000
(Bluesource)

Mounting
Flush Mount 1 set ₹15,000
Structure

AC/DC cabling,
Cables & BOS - ₹10,000
connectors

Installation &
Including transport - ₹15,000
Labour

Total Estimated
₹2,42,000
Cost
8. Payback Period Calculation
Local Electricity Tariff: INR 6.50 per kWh
Expected Annual Energy Generation: Approximately 5,500 kWh/year
Annual Savings: 5,500 kWh x INR 6.50 = INR 35,750/year

Estimated Total System Cost: INR 2,42,000


Payback Period: INR 2,42,000 / INR 35,750 ≈ 6.77 years

Thus, the investment in this rooftop solar system will be recovered in


approximately 6.8 years, after which electricity savings continue as net gain.
