Solar Home System (SHS)
The term solar home system, and its acronym SHS, refers to a stand-alone system, suitable for residential applications, such as home appliances, lighting, computers and water pumps. Normally, the SHS is low power, less than 100 W [12]. The SHS is generally designed and sized to supply DC and/or AC electrical appliances. It consists of PV modules connected to a PV charge controller, stand-alone inverter and battery system. The generated DC power is stored in the battery and converted to AC power for supplying to AC loads.
