Technical FAQs 4

What components do I need for an off-grid Solar System?

Below is a combination of multiple calculators that consider these variables and allow you to size the essential components for your off-grid solar system: The solar array. The battery bank. The solar charge controller. The power inverter. Simply follow the steps and instructions provided below.

How do I set up solar panels?

Select the nominal voltage of your battery bank. Select the lowest temperature that you expect your solar panels to be exposed to in daylight. Enter the number of solar panels wired in series. If you have multiple strings in parallel, enter the number of series-wired solar panels in each string.

What if a solar array is left blank?

If left blank, the calculator will use the daily energy consumption calculated in the previous step. This is the angle at which the solar array will be tilted (degrees from horizontal). If left blank, a default value of 45 degrees will be used. Define the Azimuth angle (degrees clockwise from true North) for the solar array's direction.

Do I need a 120 volt inverter?

And if you live in the U.S., you'll probably require an inverter with an output voltage rating of 120 Volts. Though, in some instances, you may need a split-phase inverter capable of outputting both 120 Volts and 240 Volts to power larger appliances like central AC units and dryers.
