Tiivistelmä
The use of fossil fuel in the fur farms agricultural sector is one of the major contributors to environmental pollution. Due to excessive health challenges caused by it, the need to exploit renewable energy sources to build a sustainable environment is essential. Building a sustainable environment in this area emanate from using (solar Photovoltaic) solar energy sources to rebrand the energy outlook in this sector.
One vital element that will ensure that solar photovoltaic is feasible and profitable to replace fossil fuel is in the dimensioning of the solar photovoltaic (PV) system. Once this phase is correctly analyzed, the solar photovoltaic system size viable to meet the electricity consumption can be employed.
The three essential criteria described in this study are: annual zero energy production, dimensioning solar sizes with and without battery. The criteria were identified so as to determine (the exact and lower) system size that is viable on an annual basis to meet electricity consumption with and without storage, and at the same time earn some income savings profitability from the investment.
To determine the viable system sizes for electricity consumption and income savings a calculation model was developed and this was established using Microsoft Word Excel for easy assessment and modification in the future. The mentioned calculation model is indeed suitable in dimensioning solar photovoltaic technology in meeting electricity demand. The calculation model was tried several time to ensure it worked efficiently, and this model will play a vital role analysing solar PV technology in the fur farms.
