Design and Analysis of Off-Grid Solar Photovoltaic System for a Residential Building in Omaxe City, Jaipur

The solar energy is a prominent alternative source of energy for wide range of utilities including industrial and domestic requirements. The electricity has been irreplaceable requirement to run the household equipment’s, which is generally supplied by government body. The electricity charges and regularity of uninterrupted supply are always prime concern at many places in India. So, the solar photovoltaic sustainable modules are one of the better options of existing electricity supply. This article discussed the design and evaluation of a small off-grid solar PV plant for fulfilling the energy needs of a residential house, situated at Omaxe City, Jaipur. The average monthly and annually consumption of 172 m² area villa are around 350 units and 4200 units, respectively. A 2 KW off-grid solar photovoltaic system was installed and investigated to meet the energy requirement. The presented analysis has also discussed its financial implication, economic benefits, and the reduction of the traditional energy reservoirs.
