Off-grid power systems are becoming a very popular
alternative to traditional gas generators. While consumers are growing
increasingly interested in renewable energy options, many are also turning to
solar as a quieter and more reliable power source than a traditional generator.
Off-grid power systems are relatively lightweight, easily transportable, and do
not rely on a fuel source. All of these factors make solar appealing to
consumers living in areas frequented by power outages, as well as travelers and
marine enthusiasts. Renogy has several off-grid kits to choose from, depending
on your needs and purpose. Kits range in size from 50W-800W and include, at a
minimum, panels, a charge controller, mounting equipment, and basic cabling.
Off-grid power systems can easily be installed on boats and
RVs with mounting Z Brackets. The Z Brackets are specifically designed for use
with 50W and 100W Renogy Solar Panels. Each bracket is composed of lightweight
aluminum and has pre-drilled holes for convenience and safety. Customers often
install these systems on boat and RV rooftops. If instead you intend to use the
off-grid kit on a small cabin, Renogy carries roof-mounting supplies, also
known as railing systems. The type of railing you need depends on whether your
cabin or other structure has composition or Spanish tiling. If instead you’d
like to do a ground mount system, Renogy also carries pole and title mounts.
These special mounts are prefect for ground mounts and semi permanent
installations.
Adding to the versatility of the systems is the new Voyager
Waterproof PWM Charge Controller. The Voyager is a 20A PWM Charge Controller
that can withstand splashing and features a light up LED bar for easy system
monitoring. The new Voyager is compatible with 7 types of battery banks and
utilizes a 5-stage battery charging algorithm.
