Off-Grid Solar System
Off-grid solar systems are one of the most used types of solar systems. They are also called a stand-alone power system. Solar panels work to generate electricity, passing that current through a charge controller and sent to a battery bank.
The Inverter of off-grid solar systems convert the (DC) direct current, into (AC) alternating current. AC is used to power residential and commercial properties. One of the main advantages of an off-grid system is the fact that you can store solar energy in batteries to get through those Eskom blackouts.

Using an off-grid solar system means avoiding power outages, reducing electricity costs, easing installation in homes, presenting an alternative power source for rural areas, and keeping the environment clean and green.
Power outages occur for various reasons when connected to a power grid. One outage can last from a few minutes to a few weeks. An off-grid solar system can store energy in batteries for use during outages. You can even choose to disconnect from the grid and rely on the system for power.
The high cost of batteries and inverters implies that the off-grid solar system is costly than the alternatives, so they are usually needed only in more remote areas far from the grid. Nevertheless, battery costs are reducing at a high rate, so the demand for an off-grid solar system is now increasing, even in cities and towns.
Considerations When Sizing a System
- Daily average energy consumption (kWh) – Summer and winter
- Peak load (kW) – Maximum power drawn from appliances
- Average continuous load (kW)
- Solar exposure – Location, climate, orientation & shading
- Backup power options – During poor weather or shutdown
