    This document summarizes the sizing and design of a photovoltaic system for a standalone exercise. It determines loads totaling 3835 Wh per day requiring an 80 Ah battery bank. A 16 module PV array of 85W panels is selected, tilted at 35 degrees, to generate 1445W and meet the 4512 Wh per day energy demand including losses. The system is designed to provide 4 days of storage with a 0.5 depth of discharge for the 5250 Wh battery bank.
