Install a stand alone solar PV system design for your home or work

Solar technology is getting the attention of people all across the world since the invention of the first solar panel by an American researcher. By the end of 2020, about 713 GW of solar power was installed across the world. Australia has also performed well in installing solar systems by government, private sectors, and homeowners. Australia achieved the highest per-capita solar energy with 637 watts per individual in 2020. Here, the role of stand alone solar PV system is crucial as thousands of Australian families live remotely due to their lifestyle or agriculture farming.

Components of Solar PV System:

Solar energy is crucial not only for our ecosystem but also to reduce the cost of electricity. We need to catch the sunlight using solar panels and transfer it to appliances, power tools, and gadgets. The components of a stand-alone PV system includes the following:

Solar Panel:

A solar panel or PV array is an interconnection of modules that supplies the required photo-generated power to the system. The power rating of the array is based on the load requirements. The two main types of solar arrays include monocrystalline and polycrystalline solar panels.

Battery Bank:

The battery bank is the lifeline of stand-alone PV solar system as it greatly increases solar system usability. An off-grid solar system will fail to meet the load demands outside the available daylight. The batteries are rated in voltages and watts, while the most common voltage level for general domestic purposes is 12v. Other ratings include 24v and 48v solar battery packs. Heat-On recommends using deep cycle lithium-ion batteries for a better user experience.

Solar Battery Charge Controller:

The charge controller ensures the smooth functioning of battery packs. A good battery charger increases the battery life manifold. Investing in a solar charger controller for battery means your investment is secure for years to come, especially for expensive lithium-ion batteries known for their deep discharge, deep cycles, and thousands of life cycles. The charge controller is responsible for preventing the battery from being overcharged. Further, the charger protects the battery and connected loads from under and over-voltage by disconnecting the loads.

Stand-Alone Solar Inverter:

The solar inverter ensures efficient conversion of power from direct current electricity from solar panels or battery packs to alternate current over a wide range of loads. The good thing is that the solar system can entertain both DC and AC loads. The DC loads are connected with DC power before the inversion stage.

Why Choose Heat On:

Heat on is a famous Australian-based energy firm with a specialization in solar systems, heat recovery ventilation, and panel heaters. We can design self-sufficient and efficient energy products tailored to your needs and building design. Our stand-alone solar PV system design is more practical than during the daytime when the sun shines; the system generates electricity to meet the daytime load demands and charges the batteries to meet power demand for the rest of the day.
