How Does An Off-Grid Solar Energy System Work?

With an off-grid solar panel system from Belmont, you don’t need to connect to the power company to use electricity. Instead, solar panels mounted on your roof or in a field generate electricity during the day. The off-grid solar power system uses this electricity to charge a battery bank and to run your appliances. When the sun sets or stormy weather hits, the system switches to running off the batteries, giving you the security you need in your off-grid lifestyle.

Off-grid solar systems are flexible and custom-designed to meet your needs. These systems are designed with enough generating power to run:

Chargers for battery tools and phones
Electric heating systems
Other small appliances
Washing machine
Water pumps
Refrigerator
Lighting

Custom Off-Grid Solar System Installers

No two off-the-grid solar panel setups should look the same. After over 20 years in the industry, we’ve seen too many solar companies try to offer one-size-fits-all solar packages that don’t meet the needs of your home, business, or farming operation. That’s why at Belmont Solar, we seek to offer customized off-grid solar systems designed to fit your home’s energy and style requirements.

Common Questions About Off-Grid Solar Systems

This will depend on how much energy your home uses and the solar panel’s output. The more energy you use, the more panels you’ll need, and vice versa. Most off-grid homes utilize less energy per month than the average household, which uses 877 kWh monthly. So, if you were only using 700 kWh per month, with 5 peak hours of sunlight, and are looking at 350 W panels, then you would need approximately 14 panels. To find out exactly how many panels would be required for your off-grid solar system, please call us so we can create a custom system that matches your energy needs.

The exact cost of your solar system will vary depending on its size, energy needs, location, and components. The system can cost anywhere from $10,000 for smaller homes to $50,000 or more for larger homes. At Belmont Solar, we aim to provide you with an off-grid solar system that helps you reduce your current spending on energy bills and get you to a point where you are paying exactly what you want to pay. Give us a call for a free consultation. Then, tell us how much you’re currently spending and what you want to spend, and we’ll deliver a proposal for an off-grid solar system that meets those requirements.

Of course! While it is possible to switch back to the grid if needed, it’s important to remember that this will require adjustments to your off-grid system or some additional equipment, which can incur additional costs. If you’re unsure if off-grid is for you, we also specialize in hybrid solar system installation, allowing you to use solar power and grid electricity.

The number of batteries you’ll need can range from 2-4 for a smaller-demand home system to 10 or more for a higher-demand system. It will largely depend on your daily energy usage, how many days you want the batteries to power your home without solar input, how much capacity the battery has, and how much you can use before it needs to be recharged. Please consult with one of our off-grid solar system installers to get an exact answer.
