An off-grid solar system relies on energy from the sun to run homes appliances, off-grid builds, or even recreational vehicles. Then, Batteries store any solar energy collected from panels in order to run some of, or your entire home electrical appliances. Off-grid solar system setups give you the freedom to live comfortably, and the option to run almost any appliance, rain or shine, morning or night.

A solar mini-grid system is a localized electricity distribution network powered primarily by solar photovoltaic (PV) panels. It's designed to provide electricity to a community or area that is not connected to the main electricity grid, or to supplement grid electricity in areas with unreliable power supply. These systems typically include solar panels, battery storage, and a distribution network to power homes, businesses, and other infrastructure.

MAIN COMPONENTS INVOLVED IN OFF-GRID/MINI-GRID SYSTEMS

1. Solar PV Panels:
Convert sunlight into electricity.

2. Battery Storage:
Stores excess electricity generated during the day for use at night and on cloudy days.

3. Inverter:
Converts DC (direct current) electricity from the solar panels and batteries into AC (alternating current) electricity, which is the standard form of electricity used in homes and businesses.

4. Distribution Network:
Wires, cables, and other infrastructure to deliver electricity from the mini-grid to consumers.
