DESIGN & SIZING PRINCIPLES Appropriate system design and component sizing is fundamental requirement for reliable operation, better performance, safety and longevity of solar PV system. The sizing principles for grid connected and stand-alone PV systems are based on different design and functional requirements.
When designing a PV system, location is the starting point. The amount of solar access received by the photovoltaic modules is crucial to the financial feasibility of any PV system. Latitude is a primary factor. 2.1.2. Solar Irradiance
The conventional solar cell structure is planar. As the diffusion length of the minority carriers decreases to become less than the required light absorption depth, the efficiency of the solar cell decreases. This can practically occur when one uses heavily doped single-crystalline silicon, which is relatively a low-cost material , .
To understand the operating principles underlying the solar cell, one has to study first the p–n junction diode. Solar cells are made of either homotype p–n junctions, heterotype junctions, or even multi-junction. The homotype is from the same material, whereas the heterotype is from two different materials. The operating principles are the same.
Roof mounted PV Solar Panels are typically supported by racking systems which come in two basic forms. The first is a mechanically fastened system and the second, the more common of the two, is a ballast restrained system. The mechanically fastened system penetrates through the roofing membrane and can be used in pitched roofs and flat roofs.
In general, the decisions regarding layout and shading potential, panel tilt angle and orientation, and PV module configuration are the most critical for reaching the optimal balance of cost and yield. Specific site conditions often inform general layout decisions such as row spacing and the overall arrangement of solar energy arrays.
