ABSTRACT: 

This paper presents a photovoltaic (PV) system for lighting load of a small farm in Khon Kaen province, THAILAND. PV energy production was estimated through outdoor experimentation of a PV module at latitude 16°26’N longitude 102°49’E. The standalone PV system with battery  to supply  lighting loads in a small farm was designed considered two types of light bulbs, LEDs and compact fluorescent (CFL). Information is useful for PV design for small animal farm, agriculture and energy saving applications.

Keywords: Battery, LED, photovoltaic system, renewable energy, standalone.
