Off Grid Solar
Off Grid Solar
Off grid solar system are completely independent of any electric utility grid, so are also known as standalone solar power systems. This type of system is commonly used in rural areas where grid electricity is unavailable or the cost of electricity is high. In such cases, it is preferable to generate your own energy by installing a solar power system.
What exactly is an off-grid solar power plant?
In this system, you do not need to connect to the grid and can completely rely on your solar panels to generate electricity to power your home. It allows you to have your own energy producer to power your electric appliances. A battery bank and a solar charge controller are two additional components required for your off-grid solar power system to function independently. A battery bank ensures power supply at night and on days when solar production is low due to insufficient sunlight. A solar charge controller is used to prevent overcharging and battery damage in the system.
How does an off-grid solar plant function?
Solar power systems that are not connected to a utility company are known as off-grid systems. The system cannot take or feed power back into the grid. They store the energy generated by the solar system in a battery bank. The system is made up of solar photovoltaic panels that are linked to an inverter. A photovoltaic panel’s system generates energy, which can be used to power any electrical appliances connected to the battery storage. In an off grid solar system, the solar panels are installed outside the house and are connected to the battery. The charged battery will be used to power your household appliances through an inverter.
Why select off grid solar system?
Electricity supply in rural and remote areas:
Off-grid solar systems can help rural and remote areas generate independent, long-term, and sustainable electricity.
Power backup in areas with frequent power cuts: A number of locations in India experience frequent power outages due to power transmission malfunctions, which can hamper the operations of businesses and public institutions.
Off-grid solar systems can provide a cost-effective and long-term backup solution to the problems that arise during frequent power failures.
Advantages of an off-grid solar power plant
- Clean energy availability: The primary advantage of an off grid solar system is that it provides clean energy that is pollution-free and does not harm the environment. The generated energy can be used to power household appliances such as lights, fans, water pumps, televisions, refrigerators, and many more.
- Reduced electricity bills: Another advantage of off grid solar power system is that they can help you save money on your electricity bills.
- The power generated by solar panels is only used by your household appliances in this
system. If you live in a remote area without an electric grid, or if you want to reduce your electricity bills, an off grid solar system is an option.
