Calculation Formula for Photovoltaic Power Generation System -Part 1

1. Conversion efficiency

η= Pm (peak power of solar cells)/A (solar cell area) × Pin (incident light power per unit area)

Among them: Pin=1KW/㎡=100mW/cm ².

2. Charging voltage

Vmax=Vrated × 1.43

3. Series parallel connection of solar modules

3.1 Number of solar modules in parallel=Average daily load electricity consumption (Ah)/Average daily power generation of modules (Ah)

3.2 Number of solar modules in series=System operating voltage (V) × Coefficient 1.43/peak operating voltage of the component (V)

4. Battery capacity

Battery capacity=average daily electricity consumption under load (Ah) × Continuous rainy days/maximum discharge depth

5. Average discharge rate

Average discharge rate (h)=consecutive cloudy and rainy days × Load working time/maximum discharge depth

6. Load working time

Load working time (h)=∑ Load power × Load working time/∑ load power

7. Battery

7.1 Battery capacity=average load electricity consumption (Ah) × Continuous rainy days × Discharge correction factor/maximum discharge depth × Low temperature correction coefficient

7.2 Number of series connected batteries=system operating voltage/nominal battery voltage

7.3 Number of parallel batteries=total battery capacity/nominal battery capacity

8. Simple calculation based on peak sunshine hours

8.1 Component power=(Consumer power) × Electricity consumption time/local peak sunshine hours) × Loss coefficient
Loss coefficient: take 1.6-2.0 based on local pollution level, line length, installation angle, etc

8.2 Battery capacity=(consumer power) × Power consumption time/system voltage) × Continuous rainy days × System safety factor
System safety factor: take 1.6 to 2.0, based on battery discharge depth, winter temperature, inverter conversion efficiency, etc

9. Calculation method based on annual total radiation

Component (matrix)=K × (Operating voltage of electrical appliances) × Working current of electrical appliances × Electricity consumption time/local annual radiation total

When maintained by someone and in general use, K is set to 230. When maintained by no one and used reliably, K is set to 251. When maintained by no one and in harsh environments, K is set to 276

10. Calculation based on annual total radiation and slope correction coefficient

10.1 Matrix power=coefficient 5618 × safety factor × Total load electricity consumption/slope correction factor × Annual average horizontal radiation

Coefficient 5618: Based on charging and discharging efficiency coefficient, component attenuation coefficient, etc.: Safety coefficient: Based on usage environment, availability of backup power supply, presence of personnel, etc., take 1.1 to 1.3

10.2 Battery capacity=10 × Total power consumption of load/system operating voltage: 10: No sunshine factor (applicable to continuous rainy and cloudy weather for no more than 5 days)
