Off-grid solar systems are an integral part of providing power to remote or temporary systems where uninterrupted power is required. With the flexibility to design around AC and DC energy sources and loads, and to design for a variety of system sizes, solar battery storage as part of your remote power application is an optimal choice.
A large range of communications and energy products can be combined to create a functional and effective off-grid solar system for agricultural monitoring. An off-grid solar system includes various aspects, including an inbound power system, a power storage system, and an outbound storage system.
An inbound power system involves various sources where power is gathered, and includes componentry such as Suntech Solar Modules. The power storage system is comprised of the battery and the protection & monitoring accessories. BYD’s Premium Battery range can be implemented in the system as a power storage unit in this segment. Finally, the outbound power system hardware is needed to provide different types of power for the user’s needs. SMA’s inverter range can be utilised as an outbound power source.
Due to the highly customisable nature of off-grid systems, a range of solutions can be designed and installed for various agricultural applications, including environmental monitoring for crop health, telemetry solutions for weather monitoring, SCADA and automation solutions for irrigation solutions, and cameras for surveillance and animal monitoring.
Off-grid solar is the ideal solution for agricultural monitoring, as componentry can be placed into remote parts of a property or in the middle of fields and still provide you with continuous data for monitoring, due to the devices receiving an uninterruptable power supply.

Promising durability, reliability and bankability, Suntech modules are built to deliver efficient commercial and residential power in even the most extreme environments.
Half Cell Solar Modules
Suntech Half Cell Solar Modules are trusted to deliver reliable performance over time. Available in 350W and 370W models, the unique cell design enables a higher fill factor and reduces losses of mismatch and cell wear.
BYD Batteries
BYD is recognised as the global manufacturer of Lithium-Ion batteries. With over 25 years of experience, BYD has developed a completely integrated supply chain from mineral resources through to recycling.
BYD Premium LVS
The Battery-Box Premium LVS battery unit is designed specifically for on- and off-grid, as well as grid backup storage applications. Due to its play-and-play design, the batteries can be 'stacked' to build storage systems as small as 4.0kWh, and as large as 24kWh. The IP55-rated batteries are also designed with the safest Lithium Iron Phosphate chemistry currently in use, making them ideal for installation in both indoor and outdoor projects.
SMA Inverters
SMA is a leading global specialist in photovoltaic and storage system technology. With a total output of more than 100 gigawatts, SMA's award-winning PV inverters and battery storage systems have been installed in more than 190 countries worldwide.
SMA Sunny Island
With the new generation of devices, the tried-and-tested Sunny Island battery inverters are easier and more affordable to install than ever. The Sunny Island builds a reliable off-grid energy system ranging from small homes to larger commercial applications or communities.
