Off-grid Power Supply Clean Energy. Anywhere.

Solar power for everyone – anytime and ANywhere More than 1.3 billion people around the globe still do not have access to electricity. The reason is simple. It is too expensive to build the infrastructure to connect them to the power distribution grid, especially in rural regions. Some communities may attempt to fill the gap with noisy, pollutive diesel generators, but rising fuel and transportation costs often make generators uneconomical. Economic development is impossible without electricity. Health, education, and clean drinking water all depend on electric power. Ultimately, people can...

Off-grid solutions for solar power supply Solar home system – power for household use A solar home system provides basic off-grid power service for one household. This is a low-cost, easy-toassemble PV plant consisting of only a few components. One to two solar modules, a charge controller, and a car battery supply enough electricity for the lights, television, and radio. A solar home system provides users with comfort and improved access to information, but it cannot, however, supply enough power to operate tools, machines or large buildings. It is not a commercial system and cannot be...

SMA solar off-grid systems – empowering people worldwide Many rural regions are too sparsely populated to justify building a central energy supply system. This is where SMA solar hybrid systems excel. They can supply buildings, factories, or even entire towns with reliable off-grid AC power using renewable energies. In contrast to solar home systems, hybrid systems can integrate other generating systems such as PV, wind, hydropower, or diesel generators, even if they are located relatively far away. Hybrid power systems can power any household appliances, electrical tools, or machines that...

SMA Sunny Island The Sunny Island battery inverter is the most important component of the off-grid supply system. Together with the battery array, the Sunny Island forms an independent AC power grid accessible to both energy suppliers and consumers. In addition, Sunny Island acts as the system’s manager by carrying out all the control processes that maintain system stability and output. SMA hybrid systems are modular and versatile by design making them easy to install and expand to up to 300 kilowatts – anywhere in the world. 6

System house Centralized. This is where you'll find the off-grid inverter, the batteries for intermediate storage, and, for large systems, the Sunny Island Robust and flexible. Sunny Island is a grid and battery manager that controls the off-grid system. The devices can be installed indoors as well as outdoors. Modular. Off-grid systems with up to 300 kilowatts can be quickly and easily put into practice with the fully preconfigured Hydroelectric power plant Flowing. New or existing hydroelectric power plants are a smart addition to the off-grid system.

Windy Boy Versatile. The inverter converts the direct current from water and wind power plants into grid-compliant alternating current. Diesel generator Failsafe. A generator provides backup power during long periods of drought, calm winds, or low solar radiation. Wind turbine system Complementary. Depending on the site, the integration of wind turbine systems can be an intelligent additional energy source. Solar electricity generator Direct. The PV module produces power precisely where it is needed. Solar and wind energy complement one another in many locations through all seasons. Sunny...

SUCCESS STORIES WORLDWIDE Self-sufficient with solar power Two solar hybrid systems have been supplying electricity to around 850 homes in the villages of Kolondieba and Ourikela in Mali, Africa since 2011. SMA's Multicluster Technol- ogy is used to integrate a school, multiple workshops, a bakery, a ho- tel, and other businesses into the off- grid system. And that provides a solid foundation for the local economy to Off-grid system reduces noise installed on the Reao Atoll in French Polynesia in the South Pacific. The SMA system replaced a diesel gener- ator that consumed 250 liters of...
