How Do I Build a Solar System for Living Off-Grid?

Embracing off-grid living doesn't mean sacrificing electricity or home comforts. EcoFlow's solar solutions offer an eco-friendly and cost-effective way to stay powered with all the necessary components to support your off-grid lifestyle.

How Do I Build a Solar System for Living Off-Grid?

Choosing Solar Panels for an Off-Grid House

Your power consumption can be worked out by totaling the wattage of the appliances you use in a single day and how long you use each device.

  • Calculate Daily Energy Consumption:

    Sum of (appliance wattage × hours used per day) for all appliances.

  • Calculate Solar System Wattage:

    Multiply individual solar panel wattage by the number of panels. Solar System Wattage ≥ Daily Energy Consumption

Choosing Portable Power Stations Capacity for Off-Grid Living

You can choose a suitable battery capacity by looking at how much power you need at night.

  • Calculate Energy Consumption at Night:

    Sum of (appliance wattage × hours used per day) for all appliances used at night.

  • Calculate Battery Bank Capacity:

    Multiply the number of batteries and the battery capacity. Battery Bank Capacity ≥ Energy Consumption at Night
