ABSTRACT
The increasing demand for energy, the continuous reduction in existing sources of fossil fuels and the growing concern regarding environmental pollution, have pushed engineers, industries, researchers and to other experts in the power sector to explore new technologies for the production of electrical energy which is clean and renewable. The system will be able to produce 5KVA solar power that will be able to power some devices. The solar system is to have a maximum voltage of 13.0V with a current capacity of 200AH since two panels is used which has 100AH each. The system was tested for a load of 50W for which it worked accordingly.

INTRODUCTION
- Background of the Study
In the world today, availability of steady energy supply has become necessary considering evolving technologies with massive energy demands. Dependence on non-renewable energy sources for power supply is inefficient as the epileptic power supply is greatly inadequate in meeting the power requirement as at when needed especially here in Nigeria being faced with numerous power challenges.
