Implementation Off-Grid Solar Powered Technology to Electrify Existing Bus Stop

摘要

This paper aim to implement an off-grid photovoltaic system for electrifications purposes to an existing bus stop at Melaka, Malaysia. A calculation has been carried out to determine the system size and design, hence also for improving the system design. The system will consists of solar PV panels along with batteries as energy storage, 500 Watt low power inverter and the small design with a load of capacity of approximately 400 Watt. The system setup could be operating in automatic mode to switch on at night and off the system during the day light. During the day the system design will be perform the energy harness cycle to replace all the used power from the battery. Further, the system setup can be extended for extra load connection in order to electrify remote or rural area. Thus, the photovoltaic system can be installed at any commercial area such as residences or highways.
