Abstract

Off-grid solar power systems are becoming a more and more practical option for residential buildings looking to be environmentally friendly and achieve energy independence. This research offers a summary of an off-grid solar power system design specifically for a Kastamonu residential home. The study investigates the significance of using solar energy for a sustainable and dependable source of electricity, with an emphasis on the particular geographic and meteorological circumstances of the province. A system for creating off-grid solar energy systems is designed in this study with consideration for the weather and solar radiation in order to suit the unique energy requirements of a house in Kastamonu. It has been observed that 37.7% of the annual consumption of the selected house can be covered by the designed system and the system can amortize itself in 7.8 years. In general, residential off-grid solar power system design signifies a revolutionary turn towards sustainable energy methods, enabling homeowners to welcome a greener, more self-sufficient energy future.
