Abstract

This paper searches to find out building of integrated photovoltaic (PV) system designs in Khartoum. It discussed technical issues and the design of an integrated PV in domestic use, within an urban approach towards sustainability in energy. PV systems can be used to develop the solar energy in almost all kinds of applications. Exploiting of solar energy for domestic use is one avenue where the energy produced from the sun is converted into electricity to power most if not all the appliances available at our homes and residences. Building a PV system is the process of designing, selecting and calculating the ratings of the equipment employed in the system. This process depends on a range of factors such as geographical location, solar irradiation and load requirements. The procedures utilized in building were introduced and the equipment of a grid-connected PV system was selected based on the watt-hour demand which was 3.8 kW. As a case study, a residence in Khartoum with low energy consumption is selected.

Key words: Photovoltaic, Khartoum, module.
