This paper presents a comparative study between different configurations of photovoltaic (PV) systems which are the stand-alone (PV) system, the PV-diesel- battery hybrid system and the grid connected PV system. The main objective is to select the optimal system configuration for supplying the electrical load of an Egyptian isolated village. Design calculations are carried out using three different techniques which are: Heuristic approach, loss of power supply probability indices, and HOMER software analysis. The life cycle cost (LCC) analysis is also conducted to assess the economic viability of designed system. As for determining the optimal PV panels tilt angle, three cases are studied. The paper also shows the effect of electricity price on PV standalone system, and grid extension
