“The prices of solar panels have been falling gradually but the cost of an off-grid solar system setup is rising steadily. However, anyone with basic knowledge of Electricity and having a toolbox can install it on their own. This will reduce the overall system cost substantially and you will learn a lot.
In order to build a basic off-grid solar system, you will need the following components:
1. Solar panel
2. Charge Controller
3. Battery
4. Inverter
5. Balance Of System ( Cable, Breaker, Meter, Fuses, and MC4 connectors )
In this Instructable, I will guide you step-by-step on how to choose the appropriate components of your Off-Grid Solar System and then guide you on how to connect and set them up properly.
