Solar energy is now common because there is
further increase in its demand across the globe. This is
because this form of energy can provide steady, stable
and clean energy. This design of solar powered unit for
Ilokun Community rural electrification is to solve the
problem epileptic power supply and black out in the
community in case the supply from the grid fails. There
are 600 houses in the community and this was divided
into 8 areas and each area was made up of 75 houses with
total energy demanded by each hour is 800w.Each area
has its own solar P v system and components. The
Community was sectioned into areas to avoid total black
out in the Community if there is failure on the system and
with these areas A to H in place only one area will be
affected if there is failure. The sizing of PV array, sizing
of the charge controller and sizing of the battery were
carried out. The total energy that will be demanded by
areas A was 78000W.If the effective sun per day is seven
hours, 467999watt will be delivered. This module will be
connected in parallel to meet the energy demand of the
area and this was done likewise up to area H.
