Applications of off grid system
Off-Grid-Systems – Applications for home lighting
1. Solar lamps with community charging
 It contains a CFL / LED lamp and a
rechargeable battery. These lamps are
charged at charging stations run by rural
entrepreneurs.
2. Solar lamps with individual PV panel for
charging
 It contains CFL / LED lamp, rechargeable
battery and an individual solar panel. These
solar lamps recharge during the day.

Applications of off grid system
Off-Grid-Systems – Applications for home lighting
Solar home lighting systems:
 This consists of a single solar panel /
module mounted on the roof,
connected via a voltage regulator to a
battery
Solar micro grid systems:
 Solar micro grid systems consist of a set of
solar photovoltaic panels for electricity
generation, a battery pack for charging
and storage of electricity for night or
anytime when sun is not there and small
scale version of the centralized electricity
system, established by the community
being served.

Applications of off grid system
Off-Grid-Systems – Small Portable Appliances
 Solar lanterns
 Pico-solar
 Power
supplies for
laptops
5Wp Pico-Solar System with LED lamps
Applications of off grid system
Off-Grid-Systems – Clinics, Schools, Hospitals
 Lighting
 Low-Power Medical
equipment
 Refrigeration
 Vaccine Cold Chain
Applications of off grid system
Off-Grid-Systems – Solar ATMs
 Solar ATM’s can help the
cause of financial inclusion,
by bringing bank ATM’s to
places which do not have
electricity.
Applications of off grid system
Off-Grid-Systems – Street Lighting and Signs
 Can be more cost
effective than extending
the grid
 Public squares, roads
 Private, e.g. airport,
parking lots, advertising
Control unitHousing,
embedded in
basement
Battery
LED Lamp unit with
reflector
Solar module,
tilted to South
Steel
mast
Applications of off grid system
Off Grid System for Pumping
Solar water pump system is the
best solution for running water
pumps in remote areas where
GRID supply is either erratic or not
available at all.
Applications of off grid system
Off Grid System for Drinking
water
Off-Grid-Systems – Tourism
 National Parks
 Lodges
 Large potential market
 Noisy Generators

Off grid system design
Off grid system components
• PV Array
• Solar Charge Controller
• Battery Bank
• Inverter
• Load (AC OR DC)
• Generator(Optional)
• Required electrical safety gear (i.e. fuses,
breakers, disconnects)
PV Array
It is commination Of PV Modules In series
and Parallel
 Module in series : String
 Strings in parallel : PV Array

Off grid system components
Solar Charge Controller
Charge regulators or just battery regulators
• The main function is to protect the batteries
• Block Reverse Current
Types Of controller
• PWM Charge controller
• MPPT Charge controller
Off grid system components
Battery Bank
• Storing Energy in daytime.
• Battery bank is essentially a group of batteries wired
together.
• Lead Acid type batteries are most common in Solar PV
system
Off grid system components
Off grid Inverter (Stand alone Inverter)
• Draws its DC energy from batteries charged by Charge
Controller.
• Do not interface in any way with the utility grid.
• Many stand-alone inverters also incorporate integral
battery chargers to replenish the battery from an AC
source.
Most inverters are
not designed for
use in off-grid PV
systems
