An off-grid solar system is a standalone power system that operates independently of the main utility grid. It typically consists of solar panels, a battery bank for energy storage, an inverter, and a charge controller. Off-grid systems are ideal for remote locations or areas without reliable grid access.

Solar panels alone cannot power your home during a power outage. However, with the addition of a battery storage system, you can store excess energy generated by your panels and use it to power your home during an outage.

Off-grid solar systems generate electricity using solar panels during the day. Excess energy is stored in batteries for use at night or on cloudy days. The inverter converts the stored DC power from the batteries into AC power for standard household appliances.

To determine the size, calculate your daily energy consumption by adding up the watt-hours of all devices you plan to power. Then, consider factors such as peak sunlight hours in your area and battery storage requirements. A solar installer can help perform a detailed load analysis.

• Solar Panels: Capture sunlight and convert it into electricity.

• Battery Bank: Stores excess energy for later use.

• Inverter: Converts DC power from the batteries into AC power.

• Charge Controller: Regulates the charge going into the batteries to 

        prevent overcharging.

• Mounting and Wiring: Ensures proper placement and connection of components.

The cost varies depending on factors such as energy needs, location, system size, and equipment quality. On average, a basic off-grid solar system can range from $1650 to $4000 or more, depending on the complexity and capacity of the system.

If you need to replace your roof, solar panels will need to be removed and reinstalled. Our team can assist with this process and ensure that your panels are properly reinstalled.
