Advance Solar
Stand-alone power systems (SAPS) are independent electrical systems that are not connected to the electricity grid network. These systems are capable of a wide range of applications delivering reliable electricity for your small or large home, business and even farms.
SAPS work by energy being produced by a renewable source that being solar panels, wind turbines or even hydro system which all produce DC power, this energy is converted to AC by an inverter where it is then sent to the switchboard and out to the consumers loads or that are being used at that time.
All excess surplus energy is sent to the battery’s to be recharged until the batteries are full.
When the renewable production source stops producing energy the battery bank will then send electricity to your loads/appliances.
If the battery bank levels get to low the inverter system will automatically turn over the diesel generator to power the loads/appliances and recharge the battery storage system.
There is a lot to consider when choosing to go off grid, the load profile and maximum demand need to be calculated correctly to gives us an idea of the storage you require and solar panel size also which producing and system configuration. There is two main types of configuration AC coupled and DC coupled which have their advantage’s and disadvantage’s so having the right configuration for your lifestyle and setup if crucial to the efficiency and life expectancy of your SAPS.
