ABSTRACTABSTRACT
Photovoltaic (PV) solar cells are semiconductor devices that convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity.
Groups of PV cells are electrically configured into modules and arrays.
With the appropriate power conversion equipment, PV systems can produce alternating current (AC) compatible with any conventional appliances, and operate in parallel with and interconnected to the utility grid.
PV ARRAY + BALANCE OF SYSTEM COMPONENTS = PV SYSTEM

PV TECHNOLOGYPV TECHNOLOGY
Photovoltaic (PV) solar cells as they are often referred to, are semiconductor devices that convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity.
A MODULE is the basic building block of photovoltaic systems.
Groups of modules can be interconnected in series and/or parallel to form an ARRAY.

TYPES OF PV CELLSTYPES OF PV CELLS
There are four types of PV cells Multicrystalline silicon Monocrystalline silicon Ribbon silicon Thin-film
PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULE PERFORMANCEPHOTOVOLTAIC MODULE PERFORMANCE
Electrical characteristics of photovoltaic modules determine the compatibility with loads.
I-V (current-voltage) curve gives the electrical characteristics.
The current-voltage (I-V) curve is based on the module being under standard conditions of sunlight and module temperature.
It assumes there is no shading on the module.

PHOTOVOLTAIC ARRAYS AND MOUNTINGPHOTOVOLTAIC ARRAYS AND MOUNTING
Modules can be connected in series, parallel, or both to increase either output voltage or current to form Arrays.
Combinations of series and parallel connections are also used in arrays. Different types of arrays are developed with different features.
Various ways in which a PV array can be mounted on a building.
• Bracket mounting
• Pole mounting
• Structure mounting
SOLAR CHARGE CONTROLLERSOLAR CHARGE CONTROLLER
The primary function of a charge controller in a stand-alone PV system is to maintain the battery at highest possible state of charge while protecting it from overcharge by the array and from over discharge by the loads.
The important functions of solar charge controller are:
1. Prevent Battery Overcharge
2. Prevent Battery Over discharge
3. Provide Load Control Functions

BATTERIESBATTERIES
primary functions of a storage battery in a PV system are to:
- Energy Storage Capacity and Autonomy.
- Voltage and Current Stabilization.
- Supply Surge Currents. Two types of storage batteries: Primary and Secondary. There is no “perfect battery” suitable for PV systems in general. Typical batteries used in stand-alone PV systems can deliver up to several
thousand amps under short-circuit conditions, requiring special precautions.
BATTERY SELECTION CRITERIABATTERY SELECTION CRITERIA
Selection of battery depends upon very many factors and will be influenced by system management and climatic conditions.
Special requirements made of the battery in operation can be broadly classified according to :
1. The operating time per year.
2. The type of loads (high or low power drain).
3. The number of cycles per week.
• In general, transparent housings should be preferred.

Operate independent of the electric utility grid.The load only operates during sunlight hours.For maximizing the power transfer from the array to the
load, impedance matching is to be optimized.Optimum matching for resistive loads can be as high as
94.34% at 25 C. Optimum matching factor for electrolytic loads is
99.83% at 25C.
ECONOMY OF SOLAR BASED UPSECONOMY OF SOLAR BASED UPS
Based on two factors
- Energy payback time
- Energy returned on energy invested (EROEI)
• Another factor – Grid parity

CONCLUSIONCONCLUSION
High life of the equipment.
The excess generated power can be pumped in to the grid.
Per unit cost is much less when compared with the power supply companies.
Power can be supplied to both DC and AC loads.
