HOW DO OFF GRID POWER SYSTEMS WORK? 

Advances in wind and solar power over the years has seen major improvements to off grid power technology. It’s now cheaper and more efficient than ever. So just because you’re living in a remote location, doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice creature comforts! 

Whether you source your energy from solar panels or from wind turbines, the off-grid system works much the same. Here’s how a remote power generation system works. 

Sun shines on the solar panels or wind turns wind turbine blades, generating DC electricity 

The DC electricity feeds into a charge controller, otherwise known as a regulator, which controls the amount of charge  Deep cycle batteries are charged

12 volt appliances can run directly off the batteries or the current routes through an inverter for conversion to 240V 50Hz AC electricity. This is suitable for running standard home appliances.. 

Selecting a remote power systemGetting the right system for your needs is critical and much will depend on where you live. Off-grid solar and wind generation installers will help you select the system and components for your specific needs. A backup generator may be necessary to ensure that you enjoy continuous electricity, especially if you live in an area that has below average sunshine.  

While a stand-alone power system can be quite an investment, generous government renewable energy incentives for people living in remote areas mean you can also save thousands on an off-grid wind or solar power set-up for a limited time! Our network of local installers can provide you with all the information you need to make an informed decision and provide you FREE quotes!

 Installing off grid solar or wind power

 You can install your remote power system yourself or engage the services of an accredited off-grid installer. 

If you wish to install your own system, in the case of solar power, the optimum for solar panels is that the glass face of the modules is positioned at 90 degrees to the sun for most of the day.
