ABSTRACT: In this paper a Photovoltaic (PV) system
was designed for the Port-Margot School Solar Project in Haiti. This off-grid
system consists of PV panels, inverter, battery storage and other components
such as fuses, dc/ac disconnects and transformers [1]. Sizing the PV to fit on
the roof was determined. The battery storage and inverter were chosen to be
installed in the school building. The expected energy production was compared
with data file from NASA website. The KW PV system was chosen to be the most
effective and demonstrating renewable technologies and reducing the electrical
load of the school.
