When planning a residential solar project, a crucial part of the process is understanding and correctly calculating your energy needs. These calculations, known as solar load calculations or better known as just “ load calcs ” are fundamental to designing an efficient and effective solar system as well as better permit submittals.
Example: If all appliances in a house are simultaneously turned on and consume a total of 6kW, then the peak load is 6kW. Seasonal load calculation accounts for varying power demands throughout different seasons of the year. Solar output can vary depending on the season, so this is crucial for your solar panel system design.
You have learnt previously that the power output of a photovoltaic solar cell is given in watts and is equal to the product of voltage times the current (V x I). The optimum operating voltage of a PV cell under load is about 0.46 volts at the normal operating temperatures, generating a current in full sunlight of about 3 amperes.
By the end of this chapter, the reader will have a fair idea on the characteristics of solar photovoltaic cells and the impact of temperature and irradiance on their performance. A Silicon-based solar cell is a p-n junction formed by the integration of n-type and p-type silicon layers.
The point of intersection between the I-V curve and the linear resistive load determines the operating power point. The electrical behavior of the solar module is plotted in this curve, where the x-axis represents the voltage and the y-axis represents the current.
