The Renewable Remote Power Generation Program was started and closed for so many states in Australia a long time ago. However, one of the states still has it, which is Western Australia. According to it, all businesses and residential buildings will get 50% of the total amount from the government on solar system installation (off-grid). Off-grid means the house will be having no connection with the grid and there will be no transport of electricity from the grid.
Remote buildings can have the benefit of it more than any other one. Moreover, you’ll get to know how much energy you’ll be in need of to meet your own household needs.
Let’s see how you can implement this remote power system to get the most out of it.
How one can Implement a Remote Power System?
If you are planning to build your house and then implement such a system there, you need to choose the solar system size first. But before that, you must select the appliances that you’re going to use with that specific system. The reason is that you may use energy-saving bulbs and fridges to meet your needs rather than going for expensive options which won’t prove to be fruitful for you in the long run either. So, making it energy-efficient is the first thing you should do in this regard.
After selecting the appliances, make an energy budget table and put all these into that. This will give an idea about the usage of power by each appliance and ultimately make it easy to decide which size will be best for you.
Here is a reference table:
The table above represents the usage of power from these devices which can be lessened if we take other sources also into account. This will help your solar system work better and in an efficient way which is the need of the hour for you.
Tips to Follow in using Remote Power System
Sometimes, heavy appliances must be charged using a separate source such as a generator. You can’t put all the load on solar panels, they may not work well enough under that load. A refrigerator, for example, must be charged and used on electricity taken from the grid. However, you may charge and run other devices using solar power. Apart from that, you shouldn’t always be relying on solar energy only, there are other methods also to charge and use the devices, wind energy is one of them. So, rather than putting all the load on one particular source, use different ways to get the job done.
