Before Grid-Tie systems became popular, SolarPanelStore.com got its start in the solar business with battery-based, "Off-Grid" or "Stand Alone" solar electric systems. And today Off-Grid systems are a mainstay of our business. An Off-Grid system is a solar PV system that is separated from the utility grid and utlizes energy storage in the form of a battery bank. 

Off-Grid Solar Systems from SolarPanelStore.com feature top quality solar components carefully selected to make your off-grid solar system power the loads you need.  The kits below cover small to medium size applications like small cabins to year-round homes and are just examples of the kinds of systems we assemble for our customers.  The kits below cover small to medium size applications like small remote cabins to year-round homes. We are happy to build a custom off-grid solar kit just for you!

Unlike a Grid-Tie system that essentially uses the electric utility grid as a "backup" for energy demand at night or when demand exceeds solar production, an Off-Grid system must be sized to meet all of the energy demand, plus a reserve for rainy/snowy days. Special battery-based inverters and charge controllers are required to charge batteries and manage energy flow from solar panels to/from batteries and loads.  We supply the specialized equipment you need!

Thanks to the 2016 renewal, all types of residential solar systems qualify for the significant Federal income tax credit. Depending on your location, other state, local and utility incentives may also be available. These incentives make today a great time to invest in a solar system! Please consult your tax advisor for more information.
