System components:  Off-grid systems:

• generally employed in remote locations without utility grids
 Micromorph solar module: • perfect solution in an area where running a line to the local
• Voltage at nominal power : 50V utility grid is prohibitively expensive, or an area where blackouts
• Nominal peak power: 125W and brownouts are relatively common

 Charge controller  On-grid systems:

 DC-AC inverter • generate electricity sending this energy back to utility grid
 Battery • electricity goes through inverter to produce AC electricity
which feeds energy to utility grid
