Question
A young engineer is building a solar PV
system for his farm located in an island
where the peak sun hours is 5 hours per day.
He has purchased 10 solar panels and each
solar panel has a rated power of 300 W and
an area of 1.8 m2. The system efficiency is
60%,
A. Estimate the monthly electrical energy
output
B. Calculate the monthly capacity factor.
C. If his actual electrical energy requirement
per month is 540 kw-hr, how many more PV
panels does he need to add?
