Off Grid Generators must be considered differently to a standard generator. The cost of an Off Grid Solar System varies on the required capacity of the system indicated by the calculation of the system design. We can incorporate ground-mounts to the system. However, if they don’t fit on the desired structure, don’t fear. If the solar panels fit like a glove, we are in luck! Our design is finished. Alternatively, if the shed/structure has not been built and is not available on satellite imagery, Commodore’s Off Grid designers, will ask for the dimensions of your panel area and a photo of the structure to ensure it’s suitable. Upon completing an Off Grid Calculation, one of Commodore’s Off Grid designers will complete a solar panel design by using either satellite imagery to ensure the required number of panels will fit on your roof with consideration to the maximum voltage on DC Charge Controllers & AC Inverters. Whereas the Expected Consumption is how much power you’re expected to use each day and confirms how much solar and battery storage you will need. Sizing your inverter requires human interpretation of your potential load, we do this by having a conversation with you about your system.

The Potential Load is basically the amount of power you’d be using if you turned every appliance on at once when appliances are running at their full surge capacity. Expected Consumption (Average kWh per day).You can start the calculations yourself by using Commodore’s Off Grid Solar Calculator to find out 2 important figures: It’s the equivalent of driving a car blindfolded. It’s imperative to make sure that you or an Off Grid Solar Specialist completes an appliance load profile/calculation before you choose your solar system. How do I calculate an Off Grid Solar System?

As a backup power source, a premium off grid diesel generator is an excellent solution as it provides energy security on a string of cloudy days in the cooler months of the year.ĭownload a free copy of Your Ultimate Guide to Off Grid brought to you by Commodore Australia.

When you decide to use an appliance, DC power passes through the inverter charger from the DC battery bank and is transformed into 240V power which is used to power your 240V loads/appliances.

When your battery bank is anything, but full, solar electricity passes through the systems charge controller, and charges your batteries which is power that can be used now, or later.

When your battery bank is full to its maximum capacity (100%), solar electricity passes through the inverter charger and is used to power your household appliances.

Starting from the Sun, its sunlight hits the panels and creates an electric field which will pass through your charge controller to charge your batteries or to run your appliances.

That’s what we aim for when designing an Off-Grid system.

Australian’s all over the country tell us that their system operates as though they were living on the grid. Off Grid Systems sound scary however in reality they are just maintenance free and easy to live with. Having an Off Grid Generator for your system saves you thousands because you can have 1 day of battery autonomy/backup rather than 3 which is recommended by Commodore if you don’t have a generator Optionally: Generator for backup power.Prewired board already pre-configured/programmed before installation.

12V, 24V or 48V Off Grid Inverter such as a Victron Energy Multiplus or Schneider Electric SW Pro.12V, 24V or 48V Batteries (Our preference is Lithium Batteries).Instead, they allow owners to own their power, and allow them to forget about power bills. Off Grid Solar Systems are not connected to the grid.
