Off-Grid Solar System

For sites without utility supply or projects requiring autonomous operation, an off-grid system combines solar generation, an inverter and battery storage. Sizing must account for night-time use and low-generation periods.

Service scope

Independent power requires careful planning

Without a public-grid connection, generation and storage capacity must match the usage routine and expected autonomy.

Equipment inventory

Map each load, power, voltage, starting current and operating hours.

Daily energy profile

Estimate the energy needed throughout the day and night.

Battery-bank sizing

Calculate capacity based on autonomy, depth of discharge and equipment characteristics.

Solar generation and seasonality

Size modules for local conditions and lower-irradiance periods.

Inverter and protections

Check power and voltage compatibility and appropriate electrical protections.

Contingency strategy

Review operating margins and alternatives, if required, for periods of low generation.

Autonomy and reliability

Sizing matched to the site’s routine

In isolated systems, undersized generation or batteries can affect supply. The study should consider cloudy days, night-time use, future expansion and higher-power loads.

Planned autonomy

Capacity is tied to usage hours and the required level of continuity.

Fewer operational surprises

The review identifies critical loads and peaks that must be considered.

Documented system design

Equipment and assumptions should be recorded to support operation and maintenance.

Project stages

Measure consumption before choosing equipment

More accurate usage information leads to a more reliable autonomy estimate.

01

Load survey

We record equipment, power, voltage, quantity and operating time.

02

Energy study

We calculate daily demand and autonomy scenarios.

03

System sizing

We specify compatible modules, inverter, batteries and protections.

04

Installation and guidance

After execution, we explain operating limits, monitoring and care.

Plan power away from the grid

Is the site off-grid or does it need to operate independently?
