Off Grid Battery Based systems
-
Off-grid systems allow for electrical power during grid outages, or at locations not tied to the provincial electrical grid.
-
Is often integrated with a wind system.
-
Solar panels are used to charge a battery bank through a smart charge controller.
-
AC power is generated from a central inverter which receives its power from the battery bank.
-
Provides greatest Independence.
-
Batteries require regular maintenance, and have limited life expectancy compared to most solar components.
-
Detailed system sizing is required. Rock Paper Sun can provide tools, expertise and advice to reduce the chance of any performance surprises.
-
Conservation efforts are greatly rewarded if implemented prior to designing your off-grid solar electric system.
