ABSTRACT
This study was carried out to investigate the design and integration of a 24v, 3.5kva solar photovoltaic (PV) system as a viable and feasible solution to the epileptic power supply system in Nigeria. This approach is a renewable, sustainable, and environmentally friendly solution to power generation, aiming to reduce reliance on traditional energy sources and mitigate environmental risks. The key objectives include assessing the feasibility of solar power generation, evaluating system efficiency, and ensuring long-term cost-effectiveness in power generation through solar energy. Various components such as solar cells, batteries, charge controllers, and inverters were designed and integrated to create a reliable and sustainable power generation system. To accomplish these goals, thorough research on solar energy systems, including the selection of appropriate components, system design, and installation procedures, was carried out. The design process began by first determining the appropriate specification of each component's properties from analytical calculations and consideration of the connections to be made among these components. Six monocrystalline panels with a 300W rating and 12v output were connected in series to create three sets of 24v connections. These were connected in parallel to give an output of 24V. The output was connected to the MPPT charge controller solar panel terminal. The output was then connected to two tubular batteries in series, each rated 220AH and 12v and connected to the inverter.
