Off the grid: The sun sets you free

An Off-GridOff-Grid systems (or stand-alone systems) are photovoltaic systems which are not connected to the grid. The current they produce is stored in batteries. They are ideal for particularly isolated regions or areas where it would be economically impractical to connect to the grid. system is reasonable in cases where conventional electricity provision is inefficient, unstable or impossible. Solar energyColloquial term for sunlight transformed into electricity. It is a completely renewable energy – our sun will shine for another five billion years.

Solar Technologies

Many everyday applications are already meeting their electricity needs with solar energy.

 

Some examples are solar pumps for fountains, radio stations and masts, oil rigs, parking meters, traffic info screens on highways, and street lamps that collect energy during the day to shine their brightest at night.

 

Just look around and you’ll see that it’s not just your pocket calculator which makes use of
solar energy.
