Off-Grid Solar Solution for Remote Island Home in the Bahamas
Introduction
In a remote area of the Bahamas, a residential home transitioned from full-time diesel generator reliance to a sustainable, cost-effective off-grid solar solution. By implementing Sol-Ark inverters and HomeGrid storage, this project cut inflated energy costs and environmental impact.
Project Overview
- Location: Remote Island, Bahamas
- System Components: 6x Sol-Ark 12K Hybrid Inverters, 12x HomeGrid STACD System Capacity: 72kWac output with 288kWh HomeGrid Storage
- Solar Array: 60.8kWdc
- Backup Generator: None
- Application: Powering a fully off-grid residential property
The Challenge
The homeowner was relying on a full-time diesel generator to power their property, leading to high energy costs and logistical challenges due to fuel delivery in a remote area. The homeowner needed a solution that would eliminate these issues while ensuring reliable power for their home.
Why the Customer Chose Sol-Ark
Sol-Ark’s hybrid inverters were selected for their ability to provide a seamless transition from diesel dependence to solar energy. Coupled with HomeGrid’s 288kWh lithium battery storage system, the installation offers a sustainable alternative capable of meeting all of the home’s energy needs. The system’s efficiency and reliability were key factors in the decision.
Results
The Sol-Ark system now powers the home entirely off-grid, eliminating the need for a diesel generator. The solar array, combined with the large battery storage, ensures continuous powerwithout the environmental impact or logistical difficulties associated with fuel. This project demonstrates how Sol-Ark technology enables energy independence, even in remote locations.
