Abstract :
This paper is focused on construction of a stand-alone residential 2-kW centralized PV system to feed different domestic loads at a home including lighting loads, washing machine, TV, refrigerator and computer. The stand-alone residential 2-kW PV system consists of PV generator, storage batteries, charge regulator, inverter, filter and maximum power point tracking control system. The paper in steps includes PV modeling, software development for monitoring storage batteries, development of maximum power point tracking controller, design and implementation of an inverter and use of a filter to improve the inverter output waveform.
