Design Steps:
- Target Region: Sub-Saharan Africa
- 2000 kWh/m^2 radiation each year
- Four 13x15 cm^2 Cells, 15% PCE
- 2.5W each (5V 0.5A)
- Linked in parallel: max current and matches battery voltage
[4] Hourly Solar Radiation | 228.31 Wh/m2 |
[5] Hourly Energy Harvested | 2.67 Wh |
[6] Hours of Harvesting Needed (Range) | [8.98,10.79] hrs |
