Abstract:

Photovoltaic systems are one of the most promising renewable energies since it has a potential of reducing energy consumption and hence decrease pollution[27]. Application market and global photovoltaic manufacturing industries have experience in the 21st century remarkable growth [7]. The high cost of photovoltaic solar power makes it necessary, before undertaking any subsequent study, to dimension photovoltaic installations as accurately as possible to increase the efficiency of utilization. Dimensioning the solar power generated by the system is crucial to decrease the excess in production and to lower the cost as much as possible [10]. The energy in the output from the photovoltaic systems should be analyzed since it directly influences the necessity of the battery. The importance of zero-emission transportation is being recognized by a growing number of institutions and research facilities worldwide. However, the vehicle's zero-emissivity is a complicated topic that should be understood to not only aim to the absence of emissions while the vehicle is in operation but also while charging from a renewable source of energy[16]. Having an electric vehicle for a household that has a photovoltaic system makes the house energetically independent and with zero emissions. The sizing of the panels for the charging of the electric vehicle is possible through a simple calculation. There are many tools online and software that can size a photovoltaic system (refer to 2.13), however the parameters required by the software are not very user friendly. The aim of the present thesis is to provide Midorisr [17], the company with whom the thesis was prepared, the production curves of numerous houses to provide the users with the necessary information and details for the purpose of making an aware decision to become energy independent. Similarly, for electric vehicles, the calculation of the number of panels needed to charge the car is achieved. The design process and sizing of the photovoltaic system is a procedure that requires tackling many technical aspects (refer to 2). Since the data available is limited as it is obtained through an interview, the calculation was made after making some assumptions.
