This paper presents sizing and evaluation of a standalone photovoltaic system for residential load. Peak Sun Hour method is used to determine photovoltaic panel and battery capacity, then the sizing results are tested and evaluated using hourly time-step transient simulation model by using TRNSYS 16.0. The results show for typical Malaysian terraced house that has about 6 kWh daily electricity load, the photovoltaic system requirement consists of 1.9 kWp photovoltaic panel and 2200 Ah battery capacity for a 24V system.
