- Tabletop fans.
Solar DC fans without Battery (simplest form)
To determine the speed of DC fan which run over the
day, need to look at the characteristics of panel and
fan.
To extract more power from the PV panel, one can
look for a fan whose characteristics matches with
MPP of solar.
Calculation steps:
1. Daily water requirement = 25m3/day
2. Determine TDH,
Vertical lift + Frictional Loss = 12 + 5% of 12 = 12.6m
3. Hydraulic energy required/day = Mass x g x TDH
= Density x Volume x g x TDH
= 1000 x 25 x 9.8 x 12.6 = 857.5 Wh/day.
4. Determine solar radiation data;
= 6hrs/day (peak of 1000w/m2)
5. Determine no. of PV panels and size of pump;
= Total hydraulic energy/no. of hours/day

This will be the energy generated by panel, and controller
circuit must able to handle the current developed by panel.
− Lower efficiency
− Lower reliability
