A young engineer is building a solar PV system for his farm located in an island where the peak sun hours is 5 hours per day. He has purchased 10 solar panels and each solar panel has a rated power of 300 W and an area of 1.8 m. The system efficiency is 60%, A. Estimate the monthly electrical energy output B. Calculate the monthly capacity factor. C. If his actual electrical energy requirement per month is 540 kw-hr, how many more PV panels does he need to add?
