2. Typical Off-Grid PV Power System Configuration Off-grid PV power systems can range from a single module, single battery system providing energy to dc loads in a small residence to a large system comprising an array totaling hundreds of kW of PV modules with a large battery bank and an inverter (or inverters) providing ac power to the load.
An Off-Grid solar system is slightly more complicated and needs the following additional components: Instead of a grid-tied solar inverter, you can use a standard power inverter or off-grid solar inverter to power your AC appliances. For this system to work, you need a load connected to the batteries.
In general, a stand-alone solar PV system for off-grid applications majorly consists of (a) solar PV modules, (b) solar charge controller, (c) inverter, (d) storage batteries, (e) load and (f) other accessories such as cables, connectors, etc. Possible components, which are needed to consider in PV system design process, are given in Fig. 4.
In this section, design of various off-grid solar PV systems for lighting and livelihood generation activities will be described along with few examples of actual implementation of such systems. Traditionally, solar lighting was provided through stand-alone individual systems such as solar lantern, Solar Home lighting System (SHS).
