Off-Grid

Off-Grid Solar Equipment

Off-grid solar systems provide a reliable way to generate and store electricity where mains electricity is unavailable or where greater energy independence is required.

At Solar PV Systems, we supply off-grid solar equipment for homes, cabins, workshops, agricultural buildings, caravans, boats and other remote applications throughout the UK. Our range includes the essential components required to build and maintain standalone renewable energy systems.

Off-Grid Solar Systems

A typical off-grid solar system combines several components working together to generate, store and manage electrical energy.

Our off-grid range includes:

Solar panels can also be incorporated into off-grid systems to generate electricity from sunlight. Our Solar Panels category contains the available PV modules.

Off-Grid Solar Applications

Off-grid solar equipment can be used in many situations where connecting to the mains grid is impractical, unavailable or costly.

Typical applications include:

  • Remote homes and cabins
  • Workshops and sheds
  • Garden offices
  • Agricultural buildings
  • Farms and rural properties
  • Caravans and motorhomes
  • Boats and narrowboats
  • Remote lighting and monitoring equipment
  • CCTV and security systems
  • Other standalone power applications

The equipment required will depend on the electrical loads being powered, expected daily energy consumption, available solar generation, battery capacity and whether additional generation such as wind power is required.

Choosing Off-Grid Solar Equipment

Selecting compatible equipment is important when building an off-grid solar system. The solar panels, charge controller, batteries and inverter must be appropriately matched to the intended application and electrical requirements.

Factors to consider include:

  • Daily electricity consumption
  • Peak electrical loads
  • Battery storage capacity
  • Solar panel capacity
  • Seasonal energy requirements
  • Available installation space
  • Inverter output requirements
  • Future system expansion

For larger or more demanding installations, system design should take account of winter solar generation and the expected period of energy autonomy required.

Off-Grid Solar Equipment for DIY and Trade

We supply individual off-grid components as well as complete systems, allowing customers to purchase the equipment required for new installations, system upgrades and replacements.

Solar PV Systems is a supply-only business and does not provide installation services.

Whether you need an off-grid solar kit, battery, inverter, charge controller or individual component, our range is designed to help you build a suitable standalone renewable energy system.
