Photovoltaic energy in Arizona
PV installation in an isolated home, lived in year-round, in Arizona
A photovoltaic system was requested for a home isolated from the grid, to feed the power consumption of the dwelling. With that in mind, 8 photovoltaic plates of 150 Wp each were installed in a field next to the house, in addition to a solar regulator, batteries and an inverter. The installed capacity is 1.2 kWp for an average consumption of 4.2 kW /day.
The invertor is responsible for transforming the direct current generated by the plates into alternating current, which is used by conventional appliances. Any photovoltaic installation that needs to accumulate electricity, must have batteries.
This time, stationary batteries were installed. They are more expensive than block-type car batteries, but, they also are more durable and effective. The generator is used to feed the batteries when there are unfavorable weather conditions.
