Abstract

This paper presents a design of stand-alone photovoltaic (PV) system to generate electricity in a house in Adrar, 1 year recorded solar radiation is used for the design of PV solar energy system. The proposed system takes into account the meteorological data of the site of Adrar and the needs of electric charge of the house; in 2015 annual average solar energy resource available is 6.45 KWh/m2/day and energy which are consumed by electrical house loads in a course of 1 year is 2575.07 kWh. The paper provides a general understanding of a photovoltaic system to electrify individual housing in rural areas and how can be practically applied solar energy to power the house.
