This work is a case study of 905 households, to present methods for optimizing the capacity of photovoltaic sytems (PVs)/energy storage systems (ESSs) for household to reach a desired energy self-sufficiency (70% to 90%). In order to calculate the capacity of PV and ESSs that would enhance the energy self-sufficiency of families in rural areas, the solar radiance data of the target area for the last five years and the average monthly power usage in the previous year were collected. Then, households with an average energy consumption of 250 kWh per month were chosen for this research. According to the simulation done using Solar Pro, the optimized capacities of PVs and ESSs are 2.67 kW and 7.15 kW, respectively, in order to achieve 90% energy self-sufficiency. We visualized the change in the optimum capacity of PVs and ESSs for the desired energy self-sufficiency. This study would be the base work for forming a grid-distributed energy network system by expanding the system to a national scale.
