Abstract

This research is devoted to studying the electrical performance of the stand-alone solar PV system, used for feeding a 5.5 kW Elevator. The load is represented by an induction motor connected with the elevator electrical system. The selected solar PV modules are chosen from Egyptian markets. The (I-V) performance of the selected solar PV modules initially investigated. The electrical power generated from solar PV modules measured at different load values as well as at various solar radiation levels. Consequently, the output energy is recorded during the daytime at different solar PV module's tilt angles. As the tilt angles are at 0, 11, and 31 degrees, and in the summer season the best tilt angle is detected at zero degrees in one day. Two different design techniques are used in design to explore the accurate technique of solar PV systems. The proposed method requires experimental data for the solar module used in the design. This is a quick method for designing PV systems. The method depends on the number of peak sun hours (PSH) which varies from one site to another
