    Solar Off Grid

    Off-grid homes do not rely on utilities like water, sewer, gas, or electrical grids. They use solar panels to generate electricity, storing it in batteries. Components include solar panels, charge controllers, batteries, and inverters. Photons hit solar panels, knocking electrons loose to create a current. There are two main types of solar panel mounting: flat roof mounted and integrated roof mounted. While solar energy makes up a small portion of total energy demand currently, its use and market have been growing rapidly in recent decades. The pros are that it is clean, sustainable, low maintenance, and competitive for off-grid uses. The cons include high upfront costs, needing large land areas, and limited by intermittent sunlight

    The passage discusses off-grid homes and solar energy systems that are not connected to traditional utility services like power grids. It also talks about the growth and components of off-grid solar systems.

    The main components of an off-grid solar system discussed are: roof mounted solar panels, array disconnect, charge controller, battery system, main disconnect, rectifier, inverter and solar junction box.

    Solar panels work by using photovoltaic cells made of semiconductors, usually silicon, that produce a current when light particles (photons) hit the panel and knock electrons loose. The panel uses electrical fields to direct the flow of electrons to create a usable current.

    DESCRIPTION

    Off-grid refers to not being connected to a grid generally National grid Off-the-grid homes are autonomous, they do not rely on municipal water supply, sewer, natural gas, electrical power grid, or similar utility services On 13 April 2006, USA reported that there were some 180,000 families living off-grid

    How it works
    PV cells are made of special materials called semiconductors and in this case, silicon. When a photon (a light particle) hits the panel, it has enough energy to knock an electron loose, allowing it to flow freely. The panel then has several electrical fields to force the electrons to move in a certain direction, creating a current which can be used to do work.

    PROS AND CONS


    PROS
    Very clean, sustainable, durable, low cost for maintenance. Solar energy at selected uses (off-grid) already is quite competitive among other energy sources. The solar energy cost is coming close to the grid connected at some region. In Japan, there is a sign of self-sustaining growth of market. Although still with subsidies, solar energy is expanding at the fastest rate among other energy sources.

    CONS
    Expensive for Consumers and Producers Two years output needed to just equal the amount of energy used in production Large land areas needed to produce energy on a power plant scale Limited by intermittence. Stable grids require traditional generating facilities or costly backup to ensure uninterrupted supply. Due to PV efficiency and low market demand, technological progression is slow. Environmental concerns in production and disposal
