stand alone solar system kits for remote and hard to reach areas

The city residents can easily enjoy utilities available to them due to existing infrastructure; however, the rural area residents from even developed countries may still lack the basic facilities like electricity because of their remote living areas. The best solution to the residents of remote locations includes stand-alone solar system kits that are designed to reduce carbon emissions and make people self-sufficient.

As the world population is growing at a much faster rate in recorded history, the human population is growing by a billion after every decade since the Second World War. This growth rate is putting pressure on the resources of the earth as we are struggling to provide necessities of life, especially to those living in remote rural areas. As the population grows, the energy demands also surge by many folds, while the resources decrease as every day passed. This situation puts the researchers to find alternate and renewable energy sources and utilise them to power the entire world without using fossil fuel.

As an alternative, solar energy has come up and there are serveral appliances that run on solar energy, including heaters and many others. Let’s have a look at the solar setups and all the devices involved in them.

Stand-Alone Solar Setups:

The stand-alone PV system consists of a number of silicon solar panels that are destined to catch the sunlight and produce free clean electricity. The typical solar plates are 12 volts with variations in power outputs, i.e., 100 watts to 700 watts solar plates. These solar plates are connected with each other in either parallel or series to form one unit to get the required power output and voltage level.

Stand-alone solar kits are best for areas and applications where no utility company is serving residents and no government, or private power company is serving that area due to impractical situations, i.e., the expansion of transmission lines is impossible or expensive. The solution to such scenarios includes the installation of off-grid solar kits rather than paying hundreds of thousands of bucks to lay down the electricity transmission lines and other infrastructures.

The solar setup to power more loads and applications includes solar arrays, inverters, MPPT solar charge controllers, battery packs, conductors, and various electrical components along with one or more loads. On the other hand, the small-sized solar plates for a single application, i.e., light or fan, can be directly attached to the active load. The stand-alone solar kits are also popular with RVs, boat owners, campaigners, travellers, tents, and any application that exists in a remote area where no other power source is available.

Components of Stand Alone Solar System:

Apart from solar arrays, a stand-alone solar setup includes the following:

Solar Inverter:

Inverters intelligently manage the solar system with the main assignment to convert the direct electricity supply produced by solar panels to alternate current. The inverters are rated in voltage levels, including 12v, 24v, and 48v inverters, and in watts, i.e., 500watts, 1000watts, 5000 watts, and even higher output power. The inverter’s further power rating is 120 VAC or 240 VAC for domestic use to power alternate current appliances, i.e., freezers, display screens, washing machines, etc.

Batteries:

Batteries are crucial for a stand-alone solar system as they increase the efficiency of the entire system. Solar batteries ensure you have solar electricity stored for the evening and nighttime or when the demand exceeds production. The ampere-hours of a battery determine the backup time you can get for a specific load.

Charge Controllers:

The charge controllers ensure that solar batteries are charged properly and protect them from being overcharged. The modern charge controllers also protect the battery from under or over voltage and disconnect it to avoid any damage to the battery and connected load.
