Abstract

This research project unfolds the practicability of utilizing an Off-Grid Hybrid Solar Inverter to power up the Electrical Engineering Building in Don Honorio Ventura State University. To satisfy the aims of this research, a Solar PV System design was used to make use of the solar energy converting it to electrical energy to supply the whole building. This study was guided by doing a load schedule of all the appliances in the whole building to acquire the total power and total energy consumption, using it as a basis for the selection of the required electrical components and computation of the roof area to select a suitable solar panel in order to ensure the functionality of the whole Solar PV System. The raw data gathered was analyzed using formulas to acquire the needed electrical values. The findings resulted in the development and completion of the Solar PV System Design. The last part of the research is the results, discussions, conclusions, and recommendations. These provided the finalization and endorsement of the whole study.
