Home / Solar Inverters / Off Grid

An off-grid solar inverter is a self-sufficient power solution that can feed electricity into any house, office, or home office situated in a remote region, thus not connected to the electricity grid. This power inverter converts the solar-energy-generated DC power from the solar panels into the AC power commonly used by the majority of electrical appliances.

Off-grid solar inverters are, therefore, those types of inverters that do not depend on the external electrical grid supply. They are specialized for specific locations with no connected line or very little chances of getting the grid. Application areas differ from rural areas to backup systems, as well as portable applications for RVs or boats.

Main Components of Off-Grid Solar Inverters

Battery Management

One of the key functionalities of the off-grid solar inverter is battery management. It makes the batteries work in such a way that they collect energy from the sunlight during periods of no sunshine, as in the case of the night or cloudy days, into an advanced battery management system that provides improved control of charge and discharge cycles, resulting in improved battery life and higher energy efficiency.

Management of the Load

The load on off-grid solar inverters is managed such that the owner enjoys the best efficiency in using energy. Energy from several appliances of importance will thus be managed if availability of energy is poor at the time.

Backup Systems

Almost all of the off-grid inverters come with a backup system that automatically switches to backup whenever the batteries run down. This is a good measure in any critical event with regard to power supply continuity and helps keep your essential devices operational.

 

Merits of Off-Grid Solar Inverters

  • Energy Independence: Complete energy independence, energy dependent on solar and battery storage, for off-grid solar inverters.
  • Reliability: It can supply power continuously even in the most remote areas, as well as in those with an unstable grid.
  • Cost-Effective: This reduces the bills for electricity by less dependence on grid power, especially for places where energy prices are high.
  • Sustainability: It definitely reduces one's dependence on fossil fuel and the associated carbon footprint, hence sustainability.
  • Scalability: Such off-grid solar systems can always increase to whatever extra batteries and solar panels will allow and be put to the best use at different times.

 

Applications of Off-Grid Solar Inverters

Remote Areas

These off-grid inverters have become a very reliable and maintainable source of power in remote areas where there is no grid or very poor grid availability. Systems like these can power anything from homes and small businesses to remote repeater or communication stations.

Example: An off-grid solar system installed electricity for lighting, refrigeration, and communication equipment in a mountain cabin.

Backup Power Systems

Off-grid solar inverters are often used to provide backup power in the event of a grid failure. They store excess energy coming from the sun in batteries and provide backup power in case of a grid failure to keep homes or businesses up and running during an outage.

Example: A hospital uses an off-grid solar inverter to ensure an uninterrupted power supply for critical equipment during power outages.

Mobile Applications

Off-grid solar systems also find their perfect fit in mobile applications like RVs, boats, and outdoor camping. This will provide power for lights, appliances, and electronics on the go without the need for connections to an external grid.

Example: A family uses an off-grid solar system in their RV to power air conditioning, lighting, and other devices while traveling through remote areas.

System Design Guide

Designing an off-grid solar system involves several steps:

  1. Project Energy: With this meter, you will know what the consumption in kWh/day will be and provide the exact quantity of solar panels and battery capacity required.
  2. System Size: Energy needs and the available amount of solar resources provide a basis for sizing an inverter.
  3. Battery Selection: The size of batteries which will be required will depend on the energy demands of the night or bad weather.
  4. Installation: Proper installation is synonymous with the long-term reliability, efficiency, and safety of the unit. It should be installed professionally to ensure the highest level of performance possible.

 

Top Adventure Stories 

Case Study 1: Remote Rural Village

Very little access to the grid has been a way of life for African rural villagers for years. Today, off-grid solar systems equipped with off-grid solar inverters provide schools, clinics, and homes with reliable electricity for the first time, enabling good education, quality health service, and improvement in conditions of life.

Case Study 2: Emergency Backup Power for Hospitals

This system of off-grid solar inverters caters for the patients and the critical medical equipment during disruption ensuring health and safety. Interruption of electricity has been a normal thing in a region off the grid, hence installation of a system by a hospital.

Case Study 3: Off-Grid Solar for RVs

A traveling couple across North America installed an off-grid solar system on their RV and were able to power appliances and electronics thanks to Off-Grid Solar Inverters as they traveled without any grid connection.
