Sometimes, utility power can be too expensive or just not available to bring it to your home or camp. However, there is a way to get an electrical power with off grid solar systems. With this system you can have a piece and quite, because if you use a noisy gas system, you won't have that so much needed tranquillity. On the market there is a wide range of off grid solar systems, but you can be certain that you'll find it depending how much money you are willing to spend or how much is your budget.
Nearly all version of the off-grid solar systems are depended on the solar panels and the storage bank (batteries). The DC off-grid solar power are without a doubt the most used appliances when it comes to RV's, boats or cabins. This system is used where there is no AC power available, and because the DC power is way less expensive than the AC one and easily stored in the batteries. Another thing is that DC solar power cannot be used to power AC appliances – logically.
On the other hand, there the AC version. This off-grid solar power system is the same like the aforementioned, but with a built-in inverter that converts the DC power into AC power. The thing is that the AC in its standard form for anything that can be plugged which means the most usual household appliances. Even though, the AC off grid power systems are a little more costly than the other one (adding the prices of the inverter), with all the reliability and functionality you are going to get is totally worth it.
Another beneficial info, that I stumbled upon is that small off-grid DC solar power system can be used to power tele-communicaitons electronics in places that are too far away from the power lines. Plus, recently, there are off-grid hybrid system that are a mix between a solar system, wind generators or a gas generator. Gas generators are really noisy, very hard to start and need more maintenances than any other system. However, the wind system, is way better combo and requires not so much maintenance.
