Off the grid photovoltaicAbbrevatied.: PV. Technology that turns solar energy into electricity via solar cells. systems allow for a self-sufficient energy provision free from the public grid. They provide electricity to sparsely populated areas and deliver emergency energy to hospitals, schools and radio stations. We introduce you to examples of off-the-grid IBC SOLAR installations from all over the world: where they are, how they are used, and what they deliver.

Uninterrupted Radio in Spering (Austria)

The radio station in Spering can only be reached via a path in the forest that is impassible in the winter due to heavy snowfall. The electric power lines in the area are threatened by avalanches which means it is up to a solar back-up system to ensure uninterrupted broadcast.
