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.
