ABSTRACT
This research work is based on the design and installation of photovoltaic power system. A room and parlor self contain at Ara village Kwara state was used as a case study. A total load of 740 watts a total wall hour capacity of 5840wh and total battery bank 1474.75Ah all was determined during the sizing of the apartment under study. The cost of using a diesel generator and electric from the public utilities (national grid). The result shows that after 1 year and 8 month, the cost of using diesel generator will be equal to the amount spent on photovoltaic system, also after 8 year 1month, the cost of using electricity from public utilities (national grid) will be equal to the amount spent on photovoltaic system.
