Off grid systems
For applications where utility lines are not available, not desired, or just too expensive to bring in, North American Solar 
can design, sell, and install a system to suit your 
needs. Off-grid systems present a wide array of possibilities depending on your site, your needs, and your budget. Off-grid solar electric system design is one of North American Solar's specialties. We can design off-grid solar systems for remote cabins, telecommunications applications, remote business applications, and fully automated high end residential sites.
How Off Grid Solar Systems Work
Off-grid solar systems use solar modules to produce DC electricity which is then stored in a battery bank. An inverter then converts the DC power stored in the batteries to AC power - the kind of power found in an on-the-grid home. Typically, off-grid systems will include a backup engine generator to charge the batteries if they get too low. Such a system will typically be set up so that the generator starts automatically in a low battery condition.
