On grid solar energy system.

In addition to solar panels off grid homes may use micro wind turbines diesel generators or natural gas generators to supply their electricity. Unlike grid tied solar systems off grid systems have no connection to the utility grid and must make all the electricity necessary to power your home. These installations are called off grid or independent stand alone solar power systems and require the use of batteries to store the energy for use at night or on long stretches of overcast weather. Except for rare solar energy euthusiasts most off grid homes are cabins and other types of remote vacation homes.

Only you have to know some basic electrical and math for designing the entire system. Instead of this i have attached links of my other instructables to make the charge controller and energy meter. Made with high efficiency solar cells with high module conversion efficiency and long term output reliability this solar kit is easy. Off grid solar homes almost always will use batteries to store their excess electricity.

For an off grid solar system you need four basic components. Off grid solar systems operate from the stored energy in a battery bank. An off grid solar system is designed for the power needs of mid to large size homes. Off grid versus grid tied solar panels are used extensively in rural areas where access to the grid is non existent or inaccessible.

If a grid connect system is producing more.
