2. Stand-alone power system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stand-alone_power_system

   A typical stand-alone solar PV system at a sewage treatment plant in Santuari de Lluc, Spain. Stand-alone photovoltaic power systems are independent of the utility grid and may use solar panels only or may be used in conjunction with a diesel generator, a wind turbine or batteries. [1] [2]

3. Thermophotovoltaic energy conversion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermophotovoltaic_energy...

   TPVs can provide continuous power to off-grid homes. Traditional PVs do not provide power during winter months and nighttime, while TPVs can utilize alternative fuels to augment solar-only production. The greatest advantage for TPV generators is cogeneration of heat and power. In cold climates, it can function as both a heater/stove and a power ...

4. Captive power plant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captive_power_plant

   Captive power plants are generally used by power-intensive industries where continuity and quality of energy supply are crucial, such as aluminum smelters, steel plants, chemical plants, etc. [3] However, the radical cost declines for solar power systems have enabled the opportunity for less energy-intensive industries to economically grid defect by coupling solar PV with generators or ...

5. Off-Road RVs Exist, and They're Really Freaking Cool

   There’s also a 3,200-watt diesel generator and a 600-watt solar array so you can always stay plugged in, no matter how far off the grid you roam. ... solar array keeps you in touch while off ...

6. Off-the-grid - Wikipedia

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

   Grid-connected buildings receive electricity from power plants, which mainly use natural resources such as coal and natural gas as energy to convert into electrical power. 2017's breakdown of world energy sources [6] shows that the globe, mainly dependent on grid power, uses a majority of non-renewables, while popular renewables such as solar PV and wind power are a small portion.

7. Levelized cost of electricity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levelized_cost_of_electricity

   With increasingly widespread implementation of sustainable energy sources, costs for sustainable have declined, most notably for energy generated by solar panels. Data source is Lazard. [1] The levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) is a measure of the average net present cost of electricity generation for a generator over its lifetime. It is ...
