Technical FAQs 4

What is an off-grid energy system?

He designed off -grid energy system for them, based on a 26kW solar array, 4x 100A MPPT solar chargers, a 41kWh LiFePO4 battery bank and a 15kVA Quattro. This system provides all their daily energy needs including the heat pump, summer, and winter alike. Excess solar energy is stored in batteries for use at night or in case of adverse weather.

What is a solar energy storage system?

An Energy Storage System powers the base load with solar during the day and stores excess solar energy to power through the evening and night enabling self-consumption, the grid assists in powering peak consumers or on grey days. An off-grid system powers all loads 24/7 based on worst case scenarios as there is no reliance on a grid.

What is an off-grid & back-up system?

OFF-GRID & BACKUP SYSTEMS 11 Energy storage system An Energy Storage System stores solar energy into the battery during the day for use after dark or when the grid fails. When the battery is full, excess solar energy is used to power the loads, to charge electric vehicles and in some areas it can be sold back to the grid automatically.

How do I design an off-grid solar or battery system?

The most important part of designing any off-grid solar or battery system is calculating the daily energy requirement in kWh. For grid-connected sites, detailed load data can often be obtained directly from your electricity retailer or by using meters to measure the loads directly.
