Looking at the energy sector of India, it is the 3rd largest producer in the world and holds the largest grid in the world. Despite the presence of largest grid, still frequent power outage, delivery of low quality of power and unreliability of supply persistent in some areas. This unreliable power supply creates hindrance in the overall development of the region. On the other hand solar power is most widely used source of renewable energy, can be able to provide feasible solution. By installation of solar PV array in the premises of the load center the reliability will be increased. The power production from the PV is also cost competitive and environment friendly. As solar PV power is intermittent in nature, the most old and mature storage technology ,i.e. battery can be integrated to mitigate this intermittency nature. The present study examines the feasibility and optimizes the size of such system, while the cost competitiveness is kept at the center.
