The two types of stand-alone photovoltaic power systems are direct-coupled system without batteries and stand alone system with batteries. The basic model of a direct coupled system consists of a solar panel connected directly to a dc load. As there are no battery banks in this setup, energy is not stored and hence it is capable of powering common appliances like fans, pum.
