1. General IdeaTo design a battery-less systemHigh voltage and transformer

less solar inverterCost effectiveEfficientContinuous supply of power

without any interruption(day-time)

Problem StatementConventional Solar Systems

Low input voltage Transformer problems Battery System Sizes Maintenance Price

04/18/2023 7

Conventional Systems (1KW)Battery bank may cost 15,000 PKR.

Most of the price in an inverter is covered by its transformer. A transformer in each system takes approximately 5,500 PKR to make 1K W system.

Motivation / AimUsage of high input voltageTo overcome the Battery issue Transformer-less inverterLess maintenance To minimize the price Energy Efficient System

04/18/2023 9

Our System (1KW)

No cost of batteries (saves 15,000 PKR)

No cost of Transformers (saves 5,500 PKR)Less heavier, easily portable

Buck-Boost converter for regulation

Transformer-less inverter due to high input voltage

4. ImpactEnhancement in power Engineering:Enlargement and application of our planned project would not only give the investigators and students a chance to go in depth about the study and visualization of the modern concepts of power engineeringLarge scale:It will let the Engineers all across Pakistan to think about same sort of idea on a larger scale. Renewal energyThese phases, would provide us a path on walk on for the further development of renewal energy sources with least environment damage

6. Solar Panels

Solar Panel can be designed by 4 types of solar cells1- Mono crystalline solar cell 2- Poly crystalline solar cell 3- All black and 4- HybridIn our project we are using that solar panels which consists of mono crystalline solar cells

Benefits of Mono crystalline Solar Panels over others

Some solat websites suggest that single crystalline solar panels can last up to 50 years.

They have high efficiency. Greater Heat Resistance.

Comparison chartMonocrystalline Polycrystalline

Typical module efficiency 15-20% 13-16%

Best research cell efficiency 25.0% 20.4%

Area required for 1 kWp 6-9 m2 8-9 m2

Typical length of warranty 25 years 25 years

Lowest price 0.75 $/W 0.62 $/W

Temperature resistance

Performance drops 10-15% at high temperatures

Less temperature resistant than monocrystalline

Additional detailsOldest cell technology and most widely used

Less silicon waste in the production process

Buck-boost Regulator:A Buck-Boost converter is a type

of switched mode power supply that combines the principles of the Buck Converter and the Boost Converter in a single circuit. It provides a regulated DC output voltage from either an AC or a DC input.

Inverters

Input voltage

• 12 VDC, for smaller consumer and commercial inverters that typically run from a rechargeable 12V lead acid battery.• 24 and 48 VDC, which are common standards for home energy systems.• 200 to 400 VDC, when high power output is required
