Off Grid Battery Based Solar Electric Systems
Off Grid Estimates
First Light Solar specializes in designing and installing off grid and grid tied with battery back-up systems. We take into account the intended use of the system, and the amount of batteries and solar panels you need to run your equipment - well pumps, refridgeration, heating, lighting and appliances.
Whether you need an off grid system or you are looking for a backup power source in preparation for grid failures, we have a solution for you. We can measure or estimate the wattage of the appliances and any other loads that will be supported by the battery system so that when we design the system we know that it will provide you with all the power you need.
Off Grid Design
The two design parameters we try to work with are your power needs and your budget. With that in mind, we design the best possible system, using top quality equipment to provide a rugged, reliable power system. This can include sealed maintenance free batteries, back-up generators with auto start and on-line system monitoring in addition to high quality solar panels with a variety of mounting solutions: top of pole mounts, roof mounts and ground mounts.
Off Grid Installations
We custom build every battery enclosure so that it will fit in any space. The custom built box will also make it easier to maintain and service the batteries throughout the life span of the batteries.
Our installation teams take pride in their work and have years of experince working with batteries. We ensure that each system we install looks as good as it performs.
