Abstract
This study presents the design, installation, and evaluation of a 3.5 kVA hybrid inverter system as a sustainable and reliable solution to Nigeria’s persistent energy challenges. The hybrid inverter integrates solar photovoltaic (PV) modules, battery storage, and grid power to provide continuous electricity for small-scale residential and office applications. The system was designed using three 450 W monocrystalline solar panels, a 60 A PWM charge controller, two 200 Ah deep-cycle batteries, and a 3.5 kVA pure sine wave inverter. Methodologically, the project combined theoretical design calculations, practical installation procedures, and performance evaluation under varying load and environmental conditions. Results showed a stable output of 230 V AC with an inverter efficiency above 95%, effective battery charging and discharge cycles, and seamless switching between energy sources. The system achieved a daily energy yield of approximately 6 kWh and demonstrated reliability in meeting essential power needs with minimal environmental impact. Identified challenges included high initial costs and the need for technical expertise during installation. Overall, the study concludes 3.5 kVA hybrid inverter system that offers a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to unreliable grid supply and fossil fuel generators, contributing to Nigeria’s clean energy transition and supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal on affordable and clean energy.
