Performance of solar home system

Estimation of PV Stand-alone System electricity generation for the chosen location


Location: 45�32'9" North, 7�6'39" East, Elevation: 2242 m a.s.l.,

Nominal power of the PV system: 480 W
Inclination of modules: 35 deg.
Battery size : 12 V, 500 Ah
Discharge cutoff limit (%) 40 %
Consumption per day: 512 Wh

Number of days used for the calculation:1801
Percentage of days with fully charged battery 68%
Average energy not captured due to full battery: 1101Wh/day
Percentage of days the battery became fully discharged: 2%
Average energy missing: 249Wh/day


The graph and table below show the (estimated) daily amount of electric power you can expect in each month from a Solar Home PV system with the properties you entered. It also shows the yearly average production per day.
