Off the grid: The sun sets you free

An off-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. Germany fosters solar energy via its renewable energy law. is available everywhere, allowing you to ensure a self-sufficient supply. Your photovoltaicAbbrevatied.: PV. Technology that turns solar energy into electricity via solar cells. unit stores the energy it collects and then allocates it when needed. No matter when, no matter where.

Being off the public grid doesn’t have to mean a lack of electricity. You could be on top of a mountain, in the middle of a jungle or desert, or in some other far-flung locale and still collect solar energy. Produce your own energy and you will never have to depend on public grids or energy corporations again.

What you’ll need:

1. Solar modules
The solar modules on your roof silently convert sunlight into emissions-free direct current.

2. Battery
The direct current is stored in the battery until you need it. 

3. Charge controller
The charge controller monitors the charge status of your battery. It prevents it from overcharging or depleting completely.   

4. Inverters
The direct current produced by the solar modules is then converted into alternating current for appliances with alternating current. For appliances with direct current input, an inverter is not necessary. They can be hooked up to your solar energy unit directly.
