For Kiko's off-grid property, the document recommends an off-grid solar system because it would provide stable electric energy without needing to connect to the utility grid. Off-grid solar systems offer higher independence, reliability, and lower environmental impact than grid-tied systems for remote areas without grid access. For the scenario in Makati with periodic grid interruptions, the document proposes a grid-tied solar system to provide power from solar panels during outages while still using the grid, which can offer stable power more efficiently and economically.

1. Kiko buys a property on a highland of Mountain Province very far away from the city.

He needs a stable electric energy resource for his small rest house and piggery

business but he couldn't able to connect into a utility grid. Using different type of Solar

Energy System, select one type that you want to propose on him. Explain why

and draft your initial evaluation for his concern.

For the scenario of Kiko, I do recommend him to have an off-grid solar system

for the reason that these are self-contained solar power systems that are not linked to

the utility grid, whereas grid-tied solar systems are linked to the utility grid. Offgrid solar

systems have several advantages to grid-tied solar systems, including higher energy

independence, improved dependability, and lower environmental effect. Knowing that

the location of the rest house and piggery business is located in difficult-to-reach

location with no access to utility grid, an Off-grid solar system is best which can

outperform grid-tied solar systems in rural regions that are linked to the utility grid,

according to a study published in the journal Renewable and

Sustainable Energy Reviews. Off-grid solar systems offer these communities with

dependable and inexpensive power, which is critical for economic development and

poverty reduction. Furthermore, by minimizing the usage of fossil fuels, off-grid solar

systems cut greenhouse gas emissions and enhance air quality.

Off-grid solar systems also provide energy security during power outages, whereas

grid-tied solar systems do not. Grid-connected solar systems are designed to shut
down automatically during power outages to avoid electricity from being back-fed into

the utility grid, which can be dangerous to utility personnel attempting to restore power.

Off-grid solar systems, on the other hand, may function independently of the utility grid

and offer continuous electricity during blackouts.

2. You live into the city of Makati standing in between the tall buildings. You consume

a normal residential power expenditure. There are times of utility grid power

interruptions. With the idea of solar power energy, Create an illustration of your ideal

PV system for this concern in most efficient and most economical way. Kindly

elaborate your idea.

This PV system is similar to a Grid-tie solar systems, which allow homes to stay

connected to the grid while simultaneously generating their own electricity, can be a

useful option during power outages. This implies that during a power outage, residents

may continue to get power from the grid while simultaneously enjoying the power

generated by their solar panels. At this kind of scenario where there is power outage

and economic requirements should be considered, this type of PV system is best

recommended.
According to a Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) report, grid-tied solar

systems are the most common and cost-effective type of solar system in the United

States. With a grid-tied solar system, homeowners can remain connected to the grid

while also generating their own electricity, providing a reliable source of power during

power outages. Moreover, grid-tied solar systems are often built to function in tandem

with the grid, which means that during a power outage, homeowners may still get

power from the grid while simultaneously using the power generated by their solar

panels.

In addition, grid-connected solar systems can be an efficient alternative for

supplying stable power during power outages, especially in locations with high

electricity bills. It may lower electricity prices and offer a stable supply of power during

outages, making them an excellent choice for individuals and businesses in locations

with high electricity rates or poor grid infrastructure. It also has environmental

advantages of grid-connected solar systems which can help reduce greenhouse gas

emissions and reliance on fossil fuels.
