2. Stand-alone power system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stand-alone_power_system

   A stand-alone power system (SAPS or SPS), also known as remote area power supply (RAPS), is an off-the-grid electricity system for locations that are not fitted with an electricity distribution system. Typical SAPS include one or more methods of electricity generation, energy storage, and regulation.

3. Off-the-grid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-the-grid

   Off-the-grid or off-grid is a characteristic of buildings and a lifestyle [1] designed in an independent manner without reliance on one or more public utilities. The term "off-the-grid" traditionally refers to not being connected to the electrical grid , but can also include other utilities like water, gas, and sewer systems, and can scale from ...

4. Photovoltaic system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaic_system

   A photovoltaic system, also called a PV system or solar power system, is an electric power system designed to supply usable solar power by means of photovoltaics.It consists of an arrangement of several components, including solar panels to absorb and convert sunlight into electricity, a solar inverter to convert the output from direct to alternating current, as well as mounting, cabling, and ...

5. Solar-powered radio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar-powered_radio

   Solar powered radios eliminate the need to replace batteries, which makes operating them cost much less. Since they don't require plugs, they can be used in areas where there is no electrical grid or generators. [6] As a result, people in remote areas with little disposable income can have equal access to news and information.

6. Microgrid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microgrid

   A dynamic system apportions the energy provided by the solar panels and stored in the battery and hot water heaters to the system of 23 houses. The smart grid software dynamically updates energy supply and demand in 5-minute intervals, deciding whether to pull energy from the battery or from the panels and when to store it in the hot water heaters.

7. Photovoltaic mounting system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaic_mounting_system

   Photovoltaic mounting systems (also called solar module racking) are used to fix solar panels on surfaces like roofs, building facades, or the ground. [1] These mounting systems generally enable retrofitting of solar panels on roofs or as part of the structure of the building (called BIPV ). [ 2 ]
