Planning an Off Grid system

Given the basic requirements, while planning any type of Solar PV System, the off-grid system differs in design in regard to certain additional components.   Dry and ventilated storage place for batteries, if possible protect against low temp (optimal around 20°C) Thermal systems Additional roof statics approx 50kg for 1 installed collector (40kg collector, Read more…

Off Grid system maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures that solar system life is preserved for as long as possible and the original conditions of the system are sustained while compensating for normal wear and tear. Solar systems require little maintenance as compared to other electric systems such as diesel generators; however, they are not maintenance-free. Read more…

Off Grid System Components

The off-Grid system relies heavily on better-abled storage systems.  Battery: Stores energy by chemical reactions. Most stand-alone PV systems use lead-acid batteries. Flooded lead-acid battery: A battery that has a liquid electrolyte (fluid) and uses chemical reactions between lead and acid to store energy. Sealed valve regulated flooded lead-acid battery: Read more…
