Abstract :
The demand for Photovoltaic (PV) energy system has been on the growth. A system planning software has been developed using C# and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) to aid the photovoltaic system design engineer to plan a standalone PV system with battery backup, taking into account of various key design parameters. It calculates the PV tilted angle, potential energy output from PV arrays, storage battery and cable sizing, and provides suggestions on the system protection devices.
