All off grid solar kits electrical systems have three things in common: one or more energy sources, energy storage (battery bank), and a power conversion unit (inverter). There are many different sizes and types of each of these components and each is interdependent on the others.

Here is one example of a stand alone solar system that can give your get-away cabin all the comforts of home. The pre-packaged kit comes with an expandable off grid solar system that includes six powerful Kyocera KD135 solar panels. Run an energy efficient refrigerator, washing machine, computer, table saw, stereo, lights and TV. Clean sine wave power from the Magnum Energy inverter is the heart of this off grid system. Off Grid System Array Size 810 (Watts) up to 121.5kWh a day (Monthly Output based on 5 hrs).

Here is what is included:

AC (alternating current) Off Grid Solar Power Pre-packaged kit.

6 Kyocera KD135GX-LP135 watt solar module
1 IronRidge UNI-TP/08LL Top of Pole Mount
6 Lay-in Ground Lug with Stainless Screw (1)
2 MC4 10 AWG – 30′ cable extension
1 MidNite MNPV-3, 3 Position Combiner Box
2 CBI OBPV-15 DC Breaker 150 VDC din-rail mounted
1 Outback FM60 & Breakers installed on Magnum E-Panel – The FLEXmax 60 is the latest innovation in Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) charge controllers from OutBack Power Systems. MPPT technology finds the maximum power available from the solar panels to recharge batteries. FLEXmax 60 is capable of operating at higher temperatures then previous models without loosing power. Although the FLEXmax 60 is designed to work with solar power, it will work with micro-hydro turbines. OutBack Power Systems will only offer limited tech support for these because there is too much variance in micro-hydro specifications.
1 WSS Magnum Power Center MS2012/1, 2,000 watts 120VAC – Model: MS2012/1 This pre-wired solar power center has a Magnum Energy Inverter mounted on a MidNite Solar E-panel model 2012010.
1 Magnum ME-BMK Battery Monitor installed on Magnum E-Panel
1 4/0 – 120″ UL Cable, Battery/Inverter (black)
1 4/0 – 120″ UL Cable, Battery/Inverter (red)
4 2/0 – 12″ UL Cable, Battery Interconnect (black)
6 2/0 – 18″ UL Cable, Battery Interconnect (black)
8 UPG UB-GC2 AGM 200 aH 6V Battery – UPG’s state-of-the-art lead-acid deep cycle battery is a valve-regulated type—sometimes called “sealed” or “maintenance-free”—which fixes the acid electrolyte in a gel or in an absorptive fiberglass mat. The advantage of this design is that the battery needs no water additions, can be operated in any position, and can be used in close proximity to people and sensitive equipment.

Solar camping equipment solar headlamp is a gadget everyone should own. Ever get stuck somewhere and you discover your batteries are dead? Everlite reliable EL8 solar headlamp provides 40 lumens of bright white LED light for up to 12 hours in bright mode. LED running times are about 24 hours in medium mode and 36 hours in the low mode. The 2″x5″ solar panel is used for recharging the lithium battery in the headlamp. With the solar headlamp, you don’t ever have to worry about your headlamp having dead batteries ever again. Simply plug the solar panel into the DC Jack located on the headlamp to completely recharge it in 6 hours of full sunlight. The solar headlamp panel has holes and strap slots so it can be conveniently attached to your backpack, tent, or clothing. The EL8 Solar Headlamp also has a battery charge indicator light (green-yellow-red) that tells you about how much charge remains in the lithium battery.

When you are going to be off the grid and need to charge you’re iPod, cell phone or other small electronic device here are a few tips. The first step is to estimate your total power needs, and choose a solar panelrigid flexible solar chargers to match. Some common power Watt-Hours needed to fully charge various common electronic devices are iPods – 6 whrs, Camera – 6 whrs, Cell phone – 4, 2x AA Batteries- 8 whrs. Watt-Hours is a measure of a battery’s capacity. Laptops run between 65 & 120 whrs and it is unlikely someone would take one for a overnight hike so I will not include them in this discussion.

In October 2009, Governor Schwarzenegger signed AB 920, the California Solar Surplus Act of 2009, which requires utilities to pay consumers for solar electricity that they generate over and above their home needs. What that means to you is if you decide to solar Sacramento and your home solar panels produce more solar electricity than you’re using, your local utility will pay you cash or assign credits that you can redeem when needed. How’s that for a reason to go solar!
