No.

of Fans = 4 Wattage of one fan= 100 watt Total fan wattage = 400 watt

Load Calculation

No. of lights=4 Wattage of one fan= 25 watt Total lights wattage= 100 watt Total wattage= fan + lights = 400+100 = 500 watt

Watt-Hour Calculation
We will calculate daily watt-hour usage of each appliance. This is done by multiplying each appliance wattage by no. of hours used each day For example if we use each appliance 4 hours daily, then watt hour calculation is done by following way: Total wattage = 500 watt No. of hours used each day = 4 Watt hour = 500 * 4 = 2000 watt-hours.

Total Battery Capacity


For batter battery usage, we should rely on 80 % capacity of the battery. We can also assume that battery efficiency is about 80 %

So, dividing total watt-hours by battery efficiency , we will get


Total Battery capacity = Total watt hour / battery efficiency

Cont.
Total Battery Capacity = 2000 / 0.8 = 2500 watt-hour

Size of Battery Bank(Ah)


Batteries are rated in ampere-hours(Ah). Battery bank voltages are 2, 4, 6 ,12 volts If we want a battery bank of 48volts , we will connect 4 batteries of 12 volts in series i-e 12x4 = 48 V Size of battery bank can be calculated by dividing total battery capacity to battery bank voltage.

Cont.
Size of battery ( Ah) = Total battery capacity/ Battery bank voltage = 2500 watt-hour / 12 V = 209 Ah

No. Of Batteries Required


To arrange 209 Ah battery is somehow difficult so we use series of batteries to meet 209 ampere rating. For example if we are using 45Ah battery of 12 V then total number of batteries required are given by following formula: No. of Batteries = Size of Battery(Ah) / 45 Ah. = 209 Ah / 45 Ah. ~ 4.6 or 5 These batteries are connected in parallel to increase current (Ah). When batteries are connected in series , voltage(V) is increased.

No. Of Solar Panels Required

For Example we are using solar panels each having 60 watt power . So how much solar panels are required to meet our requirements . No. of solar panels required is calculated by dividing daily watt-hours with solar panel wattage times average sunshine. Let us assume that average sunshine is 6 hours.

Cont.
So,

No. of Panels = 2000 / ( 60 x 6 ) ~ 5.5 = 6 panels

If Panel wattage not given!!!

If we have no idea which wattage of panel to be used then divide daily hour-watts by average sun shine Panel wattage = 2000 / 6 = 334 watts So we need only one solar panel of 334 watts.
