Solar Hybrid PV System for Off-Grid Electrification in Semenyih, Malaysia

Abstract:

A low maintenance solar photovoltaic (PV) system is designed to supply power to households in rural areas that are not connected to grid utility. A 2kWh system was developed in a custom made rural cabin in Semenyih, Malaysia. The system was tested with varying loads by using a programmable load. The programmable load is used as a real time load to test the power usage and efficiency of the system. The results obtained shows that the proposed system can supply sufficient power to rural homes at low maintenance costs. The results obtained from this system can be used for implementation on rural homes without the need for backup power generators such as diesel generators.
