How does off grid solar work?
A stand alone system isn’t particularly complicated although it can look complex at first. Put simply here is how an off grid system produces power for your home;
- The Sun shines on the solar panels which in turn absorb the electrons converting the sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity (the same as grid-interactive systems).
- The DC electricity is then stored in the battery bank and is controlled by a solar charger which ensures that the batteries are properly charged.
- The energy stored in the batteries is run through an inverter which then converts the direct current 240 volt alternating current (A.C) that we are all familiar with and use.
- The inverter then delivers the 240 volt electricity to all of your normal house hold appliances through your existing switchboard including power tools and air conditioning.
A standalone system set up can take some planning and thought. But, the benefits in most cases far outweigh the costs in both time and money.
The design team at stand alone power have designed custom stand alone solar systems for everything from railway sheds and outback sheds to powering full homes and workshops. All of our custom designed off the grid systems are designed with reliability, safety and security
How do I get started?
If you are in the process of researching your options for providing electricity to your home, shed or remote property then take advantage of the extensive knowledge within out system design team and contact our off grid solar technician, Mark, for a no obligation chat about your power needs.
As Stand Alone Power Systems typically customises each system, if you decide that a stand alone system is right for you we find it best to design the system and you send full quote. See the example below for an example quote including off grid solar design summary as listed below.
