Are you interested in designing an off grid solar system here are the 6 steps to get you started.
Off grid solar panel system design.
Solar panels batteries wind turbine diesel generator inverter and controller.
6 steps to off grid solar.
1 figure out how much power you need.
Unlike grid tied solar systems off grid systems have no connection to the utility grid and must make all the electricity necessary to power your home.
An off grid solar system is designed for the power needs of mid to large size homes.
The designed system will consist of many components that need choosing.
3 1 solar panels the main focus of the project and the main power supply for the off grid house is the solar panel.
So i write this instructable to get all the components of your solar system separately and assemble it all by yourself yo.
There are three types of solar power systems.
Diy off grid solar system.
As in their name solar power systems like a home off grid solar system operate on solar power.
This is the most important step and many people try to skip over it.
1 on grid 2 off grid and 3 hybrid solar systems.
But still installation of a complete off grid solar system is costly.
Day by day the price of the solar panel falls gradually.
Metering and data logging.
Off grid solar systems operate from the stored energy in a battery bank.
If you are interested to know how much energy is produced by your solar panel or how much energy being consumed by your appliances you have to use energy meters.
