Translations:Stand-alone system configurations/2/en

There are many different possible designs and configurations for stand-alone off-grid PV systems. The focus of this design project is on small-scale systems, which will serve to constrain the number of designs that will be explored here. It is worth noting that the number of possible designs increases greatly as system size and complexity increases. Small-scale stand-alone systems can be divided into three main categories based upon the loads that are intended to power: DC only, AC and DC, and AC only. The most appropriate out of these designs will be determined by the energy needs and particular loads of the project.
