AB  - This paper investigates the network topology fordistributing electricity in the remote village using solar PVwith DC microgrid. The expansion of the national gridelectricity into rural villages remains a challenge due to theincreased costs of distribution and transmission systems.The optimum selection of the network topology isimportant, relative to the density of the population, villagesize, and the group arrangement of a particular village.The modified Newton–Raphson’s algorithm (N-R) hasbeen programmed in MATLAB to evaluate the voltagedrop and system efficiency, obtained with different typesof the distribution system and the nominal voltages to beused. In this paper, the methodology to decide the bestdistribution topology, nominal operating voltage level, andthe conductor size (based on voltage drop and total cost)was addressed for a specific remote village in Rwanda.
