4) Calculation of solar cell operating voltage VP = 14.5 + 0.4 + 0.5 + 1.3 = 16.7V
Storage battery charging voltage
On the basis of the above, the most appropriate solar cell model is:
the solar module BP-HK36K (Vp=16.7V, Ip=1.44A)
the most appropriate storage battery is: the sealed lead-acid battery LS-90-6E(12V, 90Ah)
