Off-grid solar power systems are used where there is no grid power. Solar panels convert the sun's energy into electricity for use in appliances (both DC and AC). The major components in an off-grid system are:

• Solar PV panels - they convert energy from the sun into DC power, mainly 12V and 24V. The system size installed is depended upon the number and size of each panel/module.

• Charge controller - this component controls the charge from the panels to the battery, to avoid destroying the battery.

• Batteries - the batteries store the energy for use at night when the sun is not shining. Note that one needs suitable solar batteries for this system. Batteries have to be deep cycle maintenance-free type. It is possible to tap power directly from the batteries to power DC appliances.

• Inverter - this unit converts DC power to AC power (120V, 230V, 400V etc) so that AC appliances can run. Most home appliances use AC power to operate.

• Other components include module combiners, panel mounting frames, DC/AC breakers, lightning protection  and others.
