Battery Capacity Calculation:
Watt Hr Storage = (Daily watt hr consumption X Days of Autonomy)/ ( Inverter
Effy * Dept of discharge) 11551.46

Battery Capacity = Watt Hr Storage / Battery voltage / Battery efciency 566.25

No of Batteries = Total Amp hr / Amp hr per battery 5.66

or Say

Array Sizing:
PV Daily Watt Hr = Daily watt hr consumption / System Eff 15064.80

PV Array Watt = PV Daily Watt Hr X 1.25 / Sun peak hours 3138.50

Total No of Modules = (PV array power / capacity per Modules) 40

No of Modules in Series in a string = 2
Total Voltage of string = 34 37.4 24 Volts
No of String in Parellel = 20.0
Total Current = 90.0 99.0 120 Amps

Inverter Capacity = Total Connected Power * 1.25 902.5

Inverter can be chosen =

Charge Controller Capacity Volatage Current

Input side MPPT window for 24 120
Out put side 24 40

Note:
Charger should have an output current of atleast 0.2 C ( 20 amps for 100 Ahr battery)
Time to reach full charge= { (depth of discharge/100) * Rated Capacity (Amphr) / Rated output of charger} + 2 hours.
