A stand-alone photovoltaic system is a solar energy system that operates independently of the
centralized electricity grid. It generally consists of solar panels that convert sunlight into
electricity, a charge regulator to control the charging of the batteries, batteries to store the
electricity produced during the day, an inverter to convert the electricity stored with usable
alternating current, and possibly an additional generator for periods of low sunlight.
This work presents a 1.3 kW autonomous system, produced at the electrical engineering research
laboratory. The photovoltaic panels were installed at 33 degrees, and a structure was put in place
to contain the batteries. In addition, a protective electrical cabinet was built, and grounding was
carried out. This type of system is often used in remote areas where access to the electrical grid is
limited or expensive. It can power a variety of applications, from small household installations to
water pumping systems, telecommunications, weather stations and many others. The autonomy
offered by these systems makes them particularly attractive for off-grid applications, providing a
reliable and renewable source of energy in remote environments.
