Off-grid solar systems are designed for locations where grid electricity is unavailable or unreliable. These systems operate independently of the grid and require battery storage to provide power during the night or cloudy days. Off-grid systems are ideal for remote homes, farms, or cabins.
Solar panels generate DC electricity, which is either used immediately or stored in batteries for later use. The solar inverter manages the flow of electricity, ensuring that appliances receive AC power. When the batteries are fully charged, any excess energy is typically diverted to a backup load or simply not used. Off-grid systems provide complete energy independence but require careful sizing and management of battery storage.
