Why Go for Off-Grid Solar?
You do not have access to the electricity grid, and want to enjoy all the benefits of solar energy? In remote and rural areas, where there is no electrical service, off-grid solar is the answer! An off-grid system provides a constant and reliable source of energy and can be used for a wide variety of applications, from powering a single light bulb to small businesses.
The advantages of off-grid systems:
- Clean electricity is made accessible in remote locations.
- Independent, domestically produced electricity by using your own solar panels.
- Store surplus energy in your batteries for electricity at night or future use.
So… How Does It Work?
A charge controller (2) regulates the energy produced by your solar panels (1) going to your battery bank (3). When you consume energy, an inverter (4) converts the DC electricity from the battery bank into AC power, which is then sent through the main switch box (5) to your electrical appliances (6).

The warranty covers the installation of your off-grid system for a period of 10 years! In addition, the individual components of the system have a specific warranty determined by the manufacturer, which typically covers a longer period. So what happens in case a component breaks down?
As long as the system has not been damaged due to recklessness or lack of maintenance, we will remove or fix the defective product and will take care of the process between you and the manufacturer. For the exact details on our installation warranty please read our warranty certificate.
