Nabeel Rasheed*, Mazar Ali and Kabeer

Rising energy costs and falling technological costs, especially household batteries, have seen an increase in demand for small scale renewable energy sources. This is totally off grid system. Therefore, this paper aims to provide a design and economic feasibility study of an energy generation of a photovoltaic system for the coastal area of Gwadar, Pakistan. A photovoltaic panel is considered. The calculations were made to design the photovoltaic system and their respective components. An economic analysis was also performed to determine the total cost of the system over 20 years. The study indicates that properly designed panels are sufficient to supply 100% of the demand.
