Off-grid solar system means meeting all your energy needs with solar energy-without the help of the grid. In order to achieve this, you need to install a solar power generation system, such as solar cells, that is paired with an energy storage system at the place of electricity use (your home).

Any power grid starts with power generation, and our off-grid power generation system is no exception. Most of the time, all our electricity needs are provided by solar panels. However, sometimes the panel cannot generate enough power (at night and cloudy) to meet demand.

Generally speaking, the role of the battery is to store enough energy to allow us to spend a few days without too much sunlight, but when the battery power is too low, the backup propane generator will turn on and power the house through the alternator And charge the battery.

To ensure that electricity is always available, off-grid solar systems require battery storage and backup generators (if you live off-grid). Most importantly, the battery pack usually needs to be replaced after 10 years. Batteries are complex, expensive, and reduce overall system efficiency.

Advantages of installing off-grid solar:
1. Unable to connect to the public grid
Off-grid solar systems may be cheaper than extending power lines in some remote areas.

If you are more than 100 yards away from the grid, please consider leaving the grid. The cost of overhead transmission lines ranges from US$174,000 per mile (rural construction) to US$11,000,000 per mile (urban construction).

2. The flexibility to live almost anywhere
In the past few years, when you were building a new home, one of the key considerations was choosing a location with mains power, or a place that can be connected quickly and cheaply.

But with the decline in the price of solar equipment, you can now build a house almost anywhere and generate your own clean energy on site.

With solar panels, batteries and backup generators, many people can already be completely self-sufficient. Living off-grid once meant sacrificing many of the material comforts enjoyed by power-powered households. Larger solar arrays and more powerful battery packs enable people to live sustainably without affecting their lifestyles.

3. It's great for the environment
Residential solar energy plays an important role in Australia's transition to clean energy. Only 15 years ago, almost all households were completely powered by mains electricity. But today in 2020, many people are installing solar and batteries to reduce their dependence on the grid-or no grid at all.

An off-grid solar system allows your entire family to use clean energy while making better use of your electricity. Many grid-connected homes are wasting electricity, but independent systems encourage you to pay more attention to electricity-and make the most of your own power generation.

As solar panels produce clean energy for 25 years and beyond, each system has made a significant contribution to the environment. In fact, recent data shows that a 6.6 kilowatt solar array can offset nearly 250 tons of carbon dioxide during the solar panel warranty period alone.
