off-grid solar
Standalone sun power
Off-grid solar refers to a solar power system that operates independently of the public electrical grid, generating and storing electricity for self-sufficient use.
These systems typically include solar panels, batteries, and charge controllers: They installed off-grid solar at the cabin since power lines don't reach that far.
The term often appears in discussions of rural living, emergency preparedness, or energy independence.
