Abstract:
Sun continuously emits huge amounts of energy. The intensity of light that reaches the Earth varies by the day. Photovoltaic panels are able to convert light systems (solar) directly into electricity through a complex process.This paper addresses the design of the electrical installation for a house in Moldova, the city Roznov. Photovoltaic panels generate DC therefore need a converter that transforms electrical energy produced by photovoltaic panels into electricity. Maximum power cut for a photovoltaic installation, is directly influenced by the orientation of the sun.To store energy that solar panels produce during the day, it is necessary to use batteries. The battery capacity is dimensioned according to the required daily consumption. Battery performance is influenced by factors such as: ambient temperature; humidity level; quality of discharged electric current.It may take measures to reduce energy consumption through various methods, such as: installing a lighting control system; use energy saving light bulbs; avoid using electric room heaters; improving the thermal insulation of the building.
