6 FAQs about [Off-grid inverter energy storage system design]

What is an off-grid inverter?

This inverter stage can be of two types depending on grid connectivity – if it is used for powering only an isolated grid (like only a building) on its own, it is called an off-grid inverter and if it connects to a larger grid sharing the load from other sources, it is called a grid-tied inverter.

What is an off-grid Solar System?

With an off-grid system, you are entirely independent of the grid and 100% responsible for your power needs. You won’t be able to harness extra electricity from the utility company. Learn more about off-grid vs. grid-tie systems. Ready to add an off-grid solar system to your home? Speak to one of our off-grid solar experts today!

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 how much energy is required per day 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.

Are off-grid solar systems the same as grid-tie solar systems?

Off-grid solar systems are not the same as grid-tie solar systems. With an off-grid system, you are entirely independent of the grid and 100% responsible for your power needs. You won’t be able to harness extra electricity from the utility company. Learn more about off-grid vs. grid-tie systems. Ready to add an off-grid solar system to your home?

Do I need an inverter for off-grid solar?

For off-grid solar, you need an inverter that is purpose-built for off-grid use. State of the art off-grid inverters have a variety of capabilities and "smart" functions. MPPT charge controllers are built in to many inverters. Some not only accept generator power inputs, but can start the generator if battery power dips too low.

How do I calculate battery capacity for an off-grid inverter?

For off-grid or stand-alone power systems, always start by using an off-grid load calculator (load table) for summer and winter. The load table can also be used to estimate surge loads, power factors, and the maximum demand required to size an appropriate off-grid inverter. Battery capacity is measured in Ah (Amp-hours) or Wh (Watt-hours).
