Use stand alone power system batteries for independence from the grid

The use of electricity has increased by many folds since the invention of various electrical devices and appliances. Researchers have invented various power sources to meet the power requirements, including traditional fossil fuel and thermal sources. The latest addition is renewable energy sources, including wind, solar, hydro, and tidal. People are becoming familiar with solar setups as the technology has matured enough, while the efficiency level is on top since American researchers’ invention of solar panels. Australians are shifting towards photovoltaic systems that provide freedom and control over their power requirements. Those living remotely have installed stand-alone power systems to meet their electricity requirements without disturbing the surrounding with noisy generators.

Use of Solar Electricity and its Impact:

The off-grid solar systems are helpful in powering consumer appliances, including mobile devices, laptops, power tools, kitchen equipment, and heating solutions. Electricity produced by diesel generators or coal power plants is the oldest technology, while solar electricity is the recent addition that is getting the attention of individuals and governments. China is the leading producer of solar electricity with 254 gigawatts production in 2020, which is 6.2% of their total electricity production. Australia produced 17.6 gigawatts of solar electricity by 2020 with 637 watts per capita solar energy, which is the national leader in the highest per-capita solar production.

On-Grid vs. Off-Grid Solar Systems:

The two systems are similar to both use sun rays to produce electricity using solar panels and inverters. The on-grid solar setup is connected with a local grid transmission line and is ideal for city residents and those connected with the grid. The main purpose is to bring down the electricity cost and become self-sufficient in electricity production while reducing the impacts of global warming by limiting coal or diesel-based electricity.

We can design the on-grid solar system that can operate your electrical appliances using solar electricity while generating surplus electricity that can be exported to the local grid via a net metering system. To track the export of solar electricity to the grid, the meter will run in reverse. The system will pull back the electricity from the grid when the on-grid system isn’t meeting the electricity demand due to any reason, including cloudy days, rain, foggy season, especially during winter or during evening time. This will cut your electricity cost by maximum.

On the other hand, the stand-alone power system batteries ensure that you have an uninterrupted solar power supply to meet your electricity requirements, while surplus energy is stored in battery packs to entertain you when demand exceeds supply. The cost of an off-grid solar setup is on the higher side when compared with an on-grid solar system; this is mainly due to the added cost of battery cells for backup purposes.
