    Not quite sure what your loads represent ...

    As for the PV side, you should consider using less inverters, my system is about 12kW and I use a pair of Xantrex GT5.0 and one GT3.3

    Your generation will be about 50-70kWhr day depending on the time of year

    Also, on a residential service, having a second breaker panel attached to the meter is not something I have seen before and the electric company and or city/town building department might have something to say about that

    What are you trying to do and what is your location?

    Here is a website that may assist you with load sizing calculations, chose any battery, and calculate the KWH from the final results. What you didn't show clearly, is the amount of time each load will be on.

    Here for battery sizing: (javascript required)

    good day sir, I live here in Manila Philippines...
    sir regarding the supply side connection i just followed the supply side connection from the articles of code corner MAKING THE UTILITY CONNECTION FOR LARGER SYSTEM by: JOHN WILES
    thank you sir for the advice

    sir sorry for the the drawing I was'nt able to give some of the info, the panel is not the main panel. its a lighting panel for the 3rd floor of the building.

    the meter is a submeter for the 3rd floor who occupies it...

    I am trying to design a GT PV system (no battery backup)... i just maximize the area of the the roof where the array is to be placed. 53 panels can suit the allowable area for the solar panels...

    regarding the loads sir its 17721watts 12 hrs/day all for lightings
    and 2 other convenience outlet...

    thank you sir
    have a productive day
