Off Grid Solar Systems – Clean, Sustainable Energy
Busselton Solar Power Advanced Off Grid Solar Systems
Interested in going off grid?
With an off grid system, you’re fully reliant on the sun’s power and energy stored in batteries. Busselton Solar Power design and install the best high quality solar systems to supply renewable energy.
Many people nowadays prefer to utilise an off grid solar system to power their homes or small businesses since it is more cost effective and ecologically beneficial than connecting a power line to the electrical grid. Furthermore, off grid systems are great solutions for places where there is no grid connection or there is power instability.
From the smallest details to the largest systems and equipment, Solar Power Services in Busselton ensures that they deliver end to end solutions using quality products that guarantee long term reliability for their clients. Whatever project you’re dealing with right now, we’re here to assist you and provide professional advice on how to achieve the best system for your needs.
How Solar Power works in an Off Grid System?
Since off grid systems are not connected to the power grid, they require a battery storage solution. While solar panels provide energy to charge the battery, off grid systems must be designed properly to provide adequate energy and have sufficient battery capacity to meet the needs of a property.
Off grid solar systems are more complex than standard solar systems, but their complexity allows them to achieve a lot. Like the common procedure, the sun’s energy is collected by the solar panels and energy is then sent to a solar inverter, which converts it to electricity. After that, batteries get charged continuously.
Off grid solar photovoltaic systems will provide you with the flexibility to live anywhere you want, even if there is no power grid.
Important Components of Off Grid Solar Systems
Off Grid Inverter
Unlike grid tied inverters, off grid inverters do not have to meet the frequency of the electricity from the utility grid. An inverter is needed because the direct current (DC) power generated by the solar panel system must be converted to alternating current (AC) before being delivered into our home’s electrical system to operate our household appliances and equipment.
Battery Bank
A battery bank is a number of batteries connected by cables to create a large power source. A battery bank is essential in an off grid system because you wouldn’t be able to power your home or business throughout the night and during power outages without one. The first picture with the red batteries shows a system similar to earlier off grid systems while the next picture shows how massive technology improvements have enabled off grid systems to really enable modern living off grid.
DC Disconnect Switch
A DC disconnect switch is inserted between the battery bank and the off grid inverter when installing an off grid system. It is used to disconnect the current between the battery and the inverter. This part is required for maintenance, troubleshooting, and electrical fire prevention.
Backup Generator
When solar power is insufficient to meet demand, backup generators can be used to recharge the battery bank. They’re also utilised as a backup power source in case the inverter system malfunctions and has to be bypassed.
Solar Charge Controller
A solar charge controller regulates photovoltaic (PV) array power input to produce optimal power output to run electrical loads and charge batteries. It protects them against getting overloaded and causing more damage.
