Solar Will Work For Your Camp Or Cottage
Designing an off grid system is not just buying a 50W panel, throwing it on top of a trailer and expect to run your microwave. For sure, that won’t work.
To make a small off grid system work we need to look at many factors.
- Sunlight hours available?
- Shading and partial shading issues?
- Mounting angle for your PV modules. (Solar Panels)
- Do you need AC (Household power) or just DC (Battery power)?
- If you need AC do you want a pure sine wave or modified sine wave inverter? https://offgridisbetter.com/909-2/
- What are the electrical loads you would like to connect to your system?
- How many minutes or hours do you want to run these loads per 24 hours?
- How many days of battery reserve would you like for these very overcast days before you need to recharge your batteries from another source?
- Would you like maintenance free or regular lead acid batteries?
This is where I will help you making the right decisions to make solar work for your camp or cottage.
