This off grid solar system is well suited to a small cabin designed for weekend or permanent use. The owners were budget conscious but wanted a system capable of supporting a modest amount of electricity if they decided to live there permanently.
Brookfield Off Grid Solar System
The system comprises a 2 kW solar array, with the available roof space limiting the number of panels that could be installed.
The inverter provides 3 kW of instantaneous power, which is enough to operate a fridge, water pump, lighting, entertainment equipment and an electric chainsaw at the same time.
Victron EasySolar All In One Power System
The system uses Victron Energy’s EasySolar, an all in one solar power solution. The EasySolar combines a solar charge controller, inverter charger and mains power circuit breakers within one enclosure.
Combining these components in one unit helps simplify installation and reduces the amount of wiring required.
