Abstract:
The frequent power outages from university is delaying learning process and make the environment unsuitable for studying. By using an independent source of supply the frequent power outages are stopped. The independent source of supply chosen is stand-alone solar PV system; because it is practical and available. The solar PV system designed after knowing the value of total consumption demand of the selected loads and the components of the system are selected according to that. Because solar panels are relatively expensive, the load supplied is fans and lights only. Lighting load is rearranged by DIALux program and the type of lights chosen is LED to reduce power consumption.
