But, increasing the voltage allows you to use thinner and less expensive wire, which reduces the Total Cost Of Off Grid Solar Photovoltaic Systems. It also increases the potential energy production of your panels in low light situations like cloudy days, and during dusk / dawn.
For your PV off-grid system you will need deep cycle batteries. These are designed with thicker plates for constant deep discharging and recharging. This is different than a car battery which is designed to provide a high burst of power for a short time. Maintenance, basics check the batteries temp. and voltage
While using solar to supplement your grid power, to sell back to the grid (in some states), or as an emergency fallback is possible, it is usually not legal for a homeowner to install such system themselves, and requires knowledge of electrical codes in your area. This guide only covers entirely off grid systems. Ready to Go Off Grid?
Charge controller - high-quality PV charge controller is the most important component within the PV off-grid systems. Controls the flow of current to and from the battery, to protect it from over charging after reaching the required voltage within the battery (eg protect against boiling the electrolyte).
The most important component in PV off-grid systems is the charge controller. It is the brain of the system, responsible for: performance, durability and functions. Charge controller, also known as solar regulator, coordinate the main components of any off-grid systems: PV generator, batteries and loads.
In large scale PV off-grid projects the batteries connected in series, will "learn each other" at the first years of usage and the whole system operates at the first months or even years under such learning process, controlled by an PV off-grid inverter (converting DC>AC) and charge controllers on the DC>DC site.
