Assessing the feasibility of off-grid photovoltaic systems for rural electrification

Murat İspir, Muharrem Hilmi Aksoy · 2023 · International Journal of Energy Applications and Technologies

Summary. Researchers modeled an off-grid photovoltaic system for a rural residence in Konya, Turkey, designed to meet daily energy consumption of 39,974 Wh. A 9.45 kWp system with optimized angles fulfilled 90.8% of annual energy requirements. Summer production exceeded demand and fully charged batteries, while winter production fell short. The system demonstrates technical feasibility for rural electrification in areas without grid access, though seasonal variations significantly affect performance.
