loads. Nevertheless, for the purpose of this paper, any type or arrangement of a photovoltaic power system would suffice because the main idea behind this paper is not to optimize the specific design but to illustrate an entirely different strategy in load equipment operation that gives rise to a new concept in sizing of the key elements of the photovoltaic power system, namely, the solar cell arrays and the batteries. Based on the power flow diagram of Fig. 3, the basic energy balance equation using average quantities of power and component efficiencies, is:
