Off-Grid Solar Systems
UAE & Africa
Harutto Solar designs and installs complete off-grid solar power systems for remote sites in the UAE and Africa — from agricultural wells and construction camps to mining operations and rural health facilities.
Load Analysis & System Sizing
Load profile prepared from equipment list and operating schedule. Solar array, battery bank, and generator sized to meet autonomy requirements.
Battery Storage
Lithium (LiFePO4) or AGM batteries with BMS protection against overcharge, deep discharge, and thermal extremes. Capacity confirmed at design stage.
Solar Inverter & Charge Controller
Solar inverter/charger combination manages power flow between solar, battery, backup generator, and load. Remote monitoring included.
Backup Generator Integration
Automatic generator start on low battery state-of-charge. Generator sizing based on load profile and autonomy calculation.
Commissioning & Testing
Full system test under load. Settings documented. O&M manual and training provided for site operators.
Remote Monitoring
Real-time system monitoring via mobile app or web portal: solar generation, battery state-of-charge, generator runtime, and alarms.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an off-grid solar system?
An off-grid solar system operates independently from the electricity utility grid. It combines solar panels, battery storage (to cover night-time and cloudy periods), a solar inverter/charge controller, and optionally a backup generator. Off-grid systems are used for remote sites where grid connection is unavailable, prohibitively expensive, or unreliable.
How is system capacity determined for an off-grid installation?
System capacity is determined by the load profile — the equipment to be powered, its rated power, and hours of operation per day. Harutto Solar prepares a load analysis as part of the site survey, then sizes the solar array, battery bank, and backup generator to meet the required autonomy. Actual system performance depends on site conditions, load profile, and equipment selected.
What battery technology is used for off-grid storage?
Harutto Solar specifies lithium (LiFePO4) or advanced AGM batteries depending on the application, site temperature, cycle requirements, and budget. Battery type and capacity are confirmed at the design stage. All battery systems include protection against overcharge, deep discharge, and temperature extremes.
Do off-grid systems need a backup generator?
Not always — but for continuous or critical loads in locations with extended low-irradiation periods, a backup generator provides additional security. Harutto Solar recommends generator inclusion based on the load profile, battery autonomy calculation, and client risk tolerance. The generator is automatically started by the system inverter when battery state-of-charge drops below a set threshold.
Can an off-grid system be expanded after installation?
Yes, modular off-grid systems can be expanded by adding solar panels, battery modules, or a larger inverter, subject to the original system architecture and component compatibility. Harutto Solar designs with future expansion in mind where the client indicates growth potential.
