Off Grid Systems

An ‘off grid’ or ‘stand alone’ system is less common than on grid systems. An off grid is able to produce and store power independently from the Enemalta grid.

These systems are particularly suitable in remote locations, especially those where the property is more than one-quarter mile from the nearest power lines. Often the installation of an off grid PV system proves more cost-effective than extending the power lines.

The system is identical to an ‘on-grid’ system, however instead of being connected to Enemalta, the power is stored in batteries. The batteries supplied by Solar Solutions Ltd are batteries which are specifically made for heavy duty applications in PV use. Batteries used in the auto and other industries are not suitable to the heavy charging and discharging cycle and will not perform well.

In Malta these applications are suitable for farms and places which are not connected to Enemalta or for customers who require a secure back up for their power supply.
