Abstract: Day to day there is a drastic decrease in the availability of non-renewable energy sources such as coal, crude oil in the earth’s Crust and also the massive utilization of fossil fuels severely effects the society and earth. So, there is need for alternative energy source energy to meet the energy demand and reducing the utilization of fossil fuels. In this paper the design process of standalone solar PV System for small scale industry is presented. Design process involved the estimation of load, sizing of battery, inverter PV array and area required for PV panel installation. The estimated size of PV system as per the company requirement is found to be 10KW.Finally Cost benefit analysis including payback period and life span of the PV system with the estimated configuration is checked with the System Advisor Model [11]. The design Specifications of the Solar PV system is reported.
Keyword: Design of Solar PV System, Cost Benefit Analysis, Payback Period, System Advisor Model (SAM).
