I. What Is A Stand-Alone Solar Power System?
1.1 Concept and Key Features
Stand-Alone Solar Power System is a solar energy solution that operates independently, without connection to the national power grid. This system is designed to provide reliable electricity for areas without grid access or where the grid supply is unstable. In a stand-alone solar power system, solar energy is collected and stored in storage batteries for use at night or during periods of low sunlight.
The main components of a stand-alone solar power system include:
- Solar Panels: Collect sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity.
- Storage Batteries: Store excess energy for use when sunlight is unavailable.
- Inverter: Converts direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC), making it compatible with household or business electrical devices.
1.2 Benefits of Stand-Alone Solar Power Systems
- Independence from the national grid
Stand-alone solar power systems do not require connection to the national grid, making them ideal for remote areas or households without grid access.
- Cost savings on electricity
Using solar energy reduces monthly electricity expenses and eliminates dependence on grid-supplied power, ensuring long-term operational savings.
- Energy self-sufficiency
In areas lacking grid infrastructure, stand-alone systems provide a stable and continuous power supply.
- Environmental protection
II. How Stand-Alone Solar Power Systems Work
2.1 Main Components of the System
1. Solar panels
2. Storage batteries
Storage batteries play a key role in storing excess electricity generated during sunlight hours for use at night or when sunlight is unavailable. These batteries enable homes or businesses to be energy-independent, reducing reliance on external power sources.
3. Inverter
The inverter converts the direct current (DC) from the solar panels and storage batteries into alternating current (AC) to power electrical devices in homes or businesses. The inverter also ensures the system operates smoothly and safely.
4. Monitoring system
The monitoring system allows you to track the performance of the system, including the amount of electricity produced, stored, and consumed. It also helps detect issues early and optimize the system's operation.
2.2 Operating Process
- Collecting sunlight
The solar panels collect sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC). - Converting energy
The DC electricity is converted into alternating current (AC) by the inverter, which is then used to power electrical devices in homes or businesses. - Storing energy
Excess electricity is stored in the storage batteries for use during the night or in conditions where sunlight is unavailable. - Using energy
When there is no sunlight, the system will use electricity from the storage batteries to maintain the operation of devices. - Monitoring performance
The monitoring system tracks the performance of the system's components, helping you control the amount of electricity produced and consumed.
III. Installation Costs And Investment Efficiency
3.1 Installation Costs Of Stand-Alone Solar Power System
The cost of installing a stand-alone solar power system depends on various factors, including the system's capacity, type of solar panels, storage batteries, and inverter used. Below are the reference costs based on suppliers' prices:
- 3 kWp System
Ideal for small households, with a cost ranging from 30 million VND to 60 million VND. - 5 kWp System
Suitable for medium-sized households or small businesses, with a cost ranging from 60 million VND to 100 million VND. - 10 kWp system
Ideal for large businesses or households, with a cost ranging from 100 million VND to 150 million VND.
3.2 Payback Period
The stand-alone solar power system has an average payback period of 4-7 years, depending on the monthly electricity consumption of the household or business and the initial installation cost.
IV. How To Use The Stand-Alone Solar Power System
4.1 System Startup
The stand-alone solar power system automatically operates when there is sunlight. The user only needs to install and configure it initially, after which the system will automatically convert and provide electricity to the devices.
4.2 Monitoring and Management
- Performance monitoring: Through monitoring software, you can track the amount of electricity produced, stored, and consumed.
- System adjustment: When issues or performance declines occur, the monitoring system will notify the user or technician to make adjustments.
4.3 System Maintenance
- Cleaning the solar panels: Keeping the solar panels clean helps increase sunlight absorption efficiency.
- Regularly checking the inverter and storage batteries: Ensure that the system components operate stably and are not damaged.
