Solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation is the process of converting energy from the sun into electricity using solar panels. Solar panels, also called PV panels, are combined into arrays in a PV system. PV systems can also be installed in grid-connected or off-grid (stand-alone) configurations.
Off-grid solar PV system is independent of the grid and provides freedom from power quality issues and electricity billing. The excess energy can be accumulated in the battery storage units through superior control. The main research challenges in off-grid are to provide support to load when sudden changes happened in a closed network of the load.
Thanks to recent technological advances, which have made large-scale electricity storage economically viable, a combination of solar generation and storage holds the promise of cheaper, greener, and more reliable off-grid power in the future.
