Construction of an Off-Grid Solar Power Plant in Gutamine Village, Sistan and Baluchistan Province

Guatamin village, situated in Sistan and Baluchistan province, lacks access to the primary electricity grid, and it is not cost-effective or practical to transfer electricity from the nearest grid to this village. In this village, the average household requires 2274 watt-hours of electrical energy per day for daily activities. In this study, we aim to generate electrical energy from an off-grid solar system. The system is comprised of two 250-watt panels from the Generic brand, 14 Generic brand batteries connected in series and parallel, and an MPPT type charge controller for optimal battery utilization. The battery system is responsible for storing energy to provide electricity during the night and on cloudy days when the solar panels are unable to produce electrical energy. In this simulation, the village of Guatamin, located in an area of Iran with suitable radiation characteristics, can generate 949.1 kilowatt-hours per year of electrical energy through solar panels, of which 795.2 kilowatt-hours per year are utilized.
