Being energetically self-sufficient in isolated locations is a viable reality with Voltaic
Many people believe that self-consumption with off-grid photovoltaic installations is not within their reach simply because their homes are located in remote areas where it is difficult to access an electricity connection to the distribution network.
Such off-grid installations are not impossible for Voltaic, on the contrary: they are a challenge we want to take up!
What defines a off-grid photovoltaic installation?
Photovoltaic off-grid installations can be defined as those installations that physically have no possible option to connect to the general electricity distribution grid, either directly or via a third-party installation of their own. Al ser imposible ejecutar esta conexión, hay que implementar un sistema que funciona con baterías y grupos de alimentación que permitan aprovechar la energía obtenida a través de la instalación fotovoltaica.
With this system that we propose from Voltaic, it is possible to guarantee the operation and availability of energy 365 days a year. Otherwise, it would be unthinkable to guarantee the customer’s electricity consumption on colder days with fewer hours of sunshine. To achieve this, we follow an essential premise: the installation must be very precisely and meticulously dimensioned.
How does an off-grid photovoltaic system work?
Off-grid photovoltaic installations combine the use of photovoltaic panels with batteries. On the one hand, the panels are responsible for capturing solar energy and transforming it into electrical energy that can be used for domestic purposes. On the other hand, the batteries have the function of storing energy in order to supply the home during the hours when there is no sun.

Although it may seem new, off-grid photovoltaic installations are a system that has a long history in remote mountain locations or in places that are difficult to access.
Essential equipment for setting up an off-grid photovoltaic system
Most of the elements are common to conventional photovoltaic installations, the main element that differentiates them is the auxiliary generator, which is used in case of emergency,the energy storage capacity of the batteries is limited, e.g. when the batteries do not have enough stored energy to supply the existing needs or when there are many consecutive days without sunshine.
If it is now clear to you that an isolated photovoltaic installation is the solution to your energy problems, do not hesitate and contact Voltaic. We will take care of studying, analysing and correctly dimensioning your installation so that you can enjoy your home comfortably.
