Off-grid solar installations

More and more people are embracing the future of solar energy, which is good both for your pocket, by reducing electricity bills, and for the environment. It’s becoming increasingly common to consider alternative ways of powering our homes. One of the most practical options is the off-grid solar installation.

While most solar systems are connected to the national grid, there’s also a growing market for fully independent systems. And these could be exactly what you’re looking for.

What are off-grid solar installations and what are they for?

Off-grid solar installations are systems that are not connected to the public electricity grid – which means no energy bills.

They are usually found in remote locations where there is no access to mains electricity or where connecting to the grid would be prohibitively expensive. An independent solar installation is an efficient, cost-effective solution to cover energy consumption needs in these areas.

What are the advantages of off-grid solar panels?

Reliable power in remote areas

Generate your own electricity in locations beyond the reach of the conventional grid with these solar installations, which are perfect for rural properties, country houses and mountain cabins, etc.

Energy independence

As these installations are not linked to an electricity provider, there are no monthly bills. Off-grid solar panels give you energy independence and you won’t have to worry about power cuts.

Sustainable, environmentally friendly energy

These systems run on sunlight, producing no polluting emissions. This reduces their carbon footprint, contributing towards a cleaner, more sustainable future.

Low running costs and minimal maintenance

Once installed, off-grid systems require very little maintenance and have a long service life, making them a sound long-term investment.

Why is correct system sizing important and how is it done?

Proper sizing is crucial to ensure your off-grid solar installation matches your needs. Here are the most important factors to consider when making your calculations:

  • 1
    Assess your daily consumption by recording the usage of all electrical appliances in your home or business.
  • 2
    Decide how many solar panels need to be installed and the capacity of each one.
  • 3
    Calculate battery capacity requirements based on total daily consumption and the number of days of energy you want.
  • 4
    Determine battery capacity to match your autonomy requirements. This requires knowing your overall consumption and estimating how many days of backup power you will need.
  • 5
    With the number of panels, batteries and consumption figures established, you can size the battery chargers and inverters for a hybrid system if applicable.
  • 6
    Once all electrical devices have been sized, you can determine the main inverters based on their simultaneous operation.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

A kit is a standard package of panels, battery and inverter; a custom installation is sized to your real consumption and the days of autonomy you need, and it is legalised. For a main home we always recommend custom sizing.

Yes, you may qualify for tax deductions and for programmes financed with European funds. We check what applies in each case.

Very little: occasional panel cleaning and periodic checks of batteries and inverters, which are included in our maintenance service.

Only if consumption coincides with daylight hours, such as water pumping. In a home, batteries are needed to have electricity at night.

For country estates, rural houses and warehouses without access to the grid, or when bringing a power line to the property costs more than a solar installation with batteries.
