Standalone Solar Panels

Stand alone solar power.

Standalone solar panels.

A stand alone solar system the solar panels are not connected to a grid but instead are used to charge a bank of batteries. Stand alone solar power for houses. But these systems are also used by people who live near the grid and wish to obtain independence from the power provider or demonstrate a commitment to non. In 2009 the united states acquired less than 1 percent of its energy from solar power see references 1.

The primary functions of a storage battery in a stand alone pv system are. As the demand from the load does not always equal the solar panel capacity battery banks are generally used. These batteries store the power produced by the solar panels and then your electrical loads draw their electricity from these batteries. The system which utilizes only solar electric energy as main source of energy is referred as standalone solar electrical system.

In stand alone photovoltaic power systems the electrical energy produced by the photovoltaic panels cannot always be used directly. In remote locations stand alone systems can be more cost effective than extending a power line to the electricity grid the cost of which can range from 15 000 to 50 000 per mile. We manufacture many of the custom components we provide to our high standards for. The majority of energy flowing through the power grid.
