Before starting, We recommend to read this Article about Solar panel installation and Photovoltaic Pane

PV: Types of Solar Panel and Which one is the best PV Panel
Now lets begin,

Suppose,
Load = 800 Watts
Inverters Rating =?
Required Backup time for batteries = 3 Hours
Required No of Solar Panel =?
No of batteries =?
Solution:
Inverter should be greater 25% than the total Load
800 x (25/100) = 200
800+200 = 1000 Watts
This is the rating of the UPS (Inverter)
Now the required Back up Time in Hours = 3 Hours
Suppose we are going to install 100Ah, 12 V batteries,
12V x 100Ah = 1200 Wh
Now for One Battery (i.e. the Backup time of one battery)
1200 Wh / 800 W = 1.5 Hours
But our required Backup time is 3 Hours.
Therefore, 3/1.5 = 2 i.e. we will now connect two (2) batteries each of 100Ah, 12V.
If the number of batteries given, and you want to know the Backup Time for these given batteries, then
Use this formula.
1200 Wh x 2 Batteries = 2400 Wh
2400 Wh / 800 W = 3 hours.
So this is a 12 V inverter system, Now we will install two (2) batteries (each of 12V, 100 Ah) in Parallel.

Why Batteries in Parallel, not in Series?

Because this is a 12Vinverter System, so if we connect these batteries in parallel, then the Voltage of
batteries (12 V) remains same, while its Ah (Ampere Hour) rating will be increase
(Remember: In parallel Connection, Voltage will be same in each wire or section, while current will be
different i.e current is additive e.g. I1+I2+I3+In = 100Ah +100Ah = 200Ah
In Series Circuits, Current is same in each wire or section while voltage is different i.e. Voltage is additive
e.g.V1+V2+V3.Vn..
For The above system if we connect these batteries in series instead of parallel, then
The rating of batteries become V1+V2 = 24V while the current rating would be same i.e.100Ah.
We will now connect 2 batteries in parallel (each of 100Ah, 12V)
Therefore for 2 Batteries,
200 Ah 12V,
Now Required Charging Current for these two batteries.
(Charging current should be 1/10 of batteries Ah)
200Ah x (1/10) = 20A
Now the required No of Solar Panels
P = VI
P = 12V x 20 A
P = 240Watts
This is our required watts for solar panel (only for battery charging, and then battery will supply power to
the load)
Now
240W/60W = 4 Solar panels

Therefore, we will connect 4 Solar Panels (each of 60W,12V,5A) in parallel.
Circuit Diagram for the above Calculation for Solar Panel Installation

Find us on Facebook
This was only for battery Charging (and then battery will supply power to the desired Load) i.e. for those
electrical appliances, which will get power through inverter (from charged batteries)
Now suppose there is some (Directly connected to the panels through inverters (without battery) load
about 10A, which we have connect directly to the solar panel (No batteries required)
In this case, required current (20 A for Batteries Charging and 10 A for direct connected load through
Inverters during sunshine only but batteries will be also charging while panel supply power to the direct
connected load.
In this case, total current,
20A + 10 A = 30A
Now I = 30 A, then required Power
P = V x I = 12V x 30A = 360Watts
(This is for both Direct Load and Batteries Charging)
Now,
360/60W = 6
Therefore, we will Connect 6 No of Solar panels (each of 60W, 12V,5A)
And We use Charge Controller about ampere rating i.e, the charging current for 200Ah battery is 20-22
Amperes (22A (For Battery Charging)+10A(for direct DC Load)So we can use a charge controller about
30-32 Amp.
Note: this calculation is base on ideal case, so it is recommended to always choose a Panel some bigger
then we need. Because when Solar Panel charges the battery so it is wasting some power on charging too.
this is another Circuit Diagram for the above Calculation for Solar Panel Installation

Reply
05/08/2013 at 12:35 pm
No matter. because this calculation is based on Current for Load. so if 380 instead of 220, then
current will be slightly decreased . Because if you increase Voltage, then current decreases
( P = VI ) So Keep in Mind Load only.

says if it is in solar mode and mains switch on it did`t draw power from grid Your Solar Power is 3 x 100Watt = 300 Watts. Switch off main
power supply during full sunshine( Day). so that power will come from panels.. Switch

Dear@ It is 200Ah, not 200A. So first of all we would find its amperes rating. studies and

i.e, 20A amps for charging of 200Ah.

A 12V Solar panel gives about 22V(Open Circuit) In simple words; Panel Wattage =
130W Volts = 12V So current would be I = P/V 130 / 12 = 10.83A (Ideal Case)
 So you can use it for 12V 100Ah battery and charging current for 100 Ah battery =
100Ah x (10/100) = 10A and the charging time for this battery would be; 100Ah / 10 A
= 10 Hrs (Ideal)

In your case, The Power consumption and back up time of batteries it too much high..therefore,
Solar panel system would be too expensive.. So i recommend you to do the same with power
cable from power grid instead of solar system..

Hi, Please tell me the calculation for solar panel to charge 12V 100AH SMF batteries which are
connected in series to get 96V. Thanks in Advance.

Dear Sir, I have connected 8 batteries of 12V 100AH SMF batteries through Emerson
2KV Online UPS. Due to load shedding batteries will not get charege on AC power supply.
 Hence i m trying for Solar option to charge batteries. Thanks

Dear AB, if you want to charge only batteries through solar panel. then the total wattage of
batteries bank = (12V x 100Ah) x 6 batteries = 7200WH and the charging current for these 6
batteries = (100Ah x 6) / 10 = 60A. Now = 12V x 60A = 720W (This is the required wattage
for batteries charge only) Now the required no of solar panel 720 / 180 =4 So
you need to

Sir, I think you are considering 6 batteries of 12V 100AH which are connected in
parallel, but my UPS support 96V so i have to connect 8 batteries of 12V 100 AH in series. According to that my charging current for these 8 batteries = 100/10 = 10A. Wattage for
batteries charge = 96V x 10A = 960W (as per my calculation with reference to your post) Now solar panel

Absolutely right.. Use Charge controller about 10-12A

Hello sir, I need some clarifications With regards to your above calculation you have stated that for
a load of 800watts it requires two 100 ah battery for a backup for 3 hours. will that 200ah battery satisfy
the load of 800w for 3 hours practically??? Refering to the formula: Battery
capacity = (total load * backup hours) / battery loss * system voltage

There are some losses and efficiency factors playing a major role in output. Battery efficiency :
0.8 DOD depth of discharge : 0.8 if your using inverter then the factor is : 0.9

good knowledge. thanks for this work. After the calculation i need around 220 AH battery is required
for me. Now I have 100Ah battery and am planning to connect 150 Ah battery in parallel. is it

this goes unused most of the days. I am planning to expand this setup as the battery (from my old

one more question can we use a car alternator of 24volts and 150amp instead of a solar panel? yes I
know you question how to run that alternator? the answer is with a 2hp motor that run on a
inverter ( I mean motor run on a inverter that has 5000watts capacity and that motor starts the
alternator and gives the 27volts and 150amps to inverter ) is this possible plzzzzzz help me in
