Basic off grid solar system are widely used in Africa, first of all because of Africa’s abundant solar resources, and secondly because of poor infrastructure in African countries and insufficient power supply, resulting in frequent power outages. The price of a basic off grid solar system is relatively high for some families. But a family needs a basic off grid solar system. How to do it?

Alphonso from Liberia demonstrated a good solution for us. A few years ago, Alphonso bought a 3KW basic off grid solar system at Mars Solar. After the solar kit with battery and inverter has been running normally for a year, he wants to open a shop.
There are 2 refrigerators in the small shop, because the refrigerator is an inductive load, it will generate a large starting power at the moment of starting. Therefore, his 3KW inverter cannot meet the starting power requirements of 2 refrigerators. At the suggestion of Mars engineer, he bought a 10KW IGBT inverter and supporting solar controller. In this way, even if two refrigerators are working at the same time, the IGBT inverter can understake it perfectly. Every time the compressor of the refrigerator starts to work,the starting power generated in an instant hits the inverter, but the IGBT inverter is stable enough, so the stability of the solar kit with battery and inverter will not be affected. The inverter can have a large capacity and can carry a lot of household loads. Alphonso wanted to increase the working time of the solar kit with battery and inverter by increasing the capacity of solar panels and batteries.Therefore, after a period of time to save some money, buy a part of accessories, and gradually assemble a larger and larger solar kit with battery and inverter.
Alphonso's friends saw Alphonso's uninterrupted power supply from solar energy, and ordered a 6KW solar system kit from Mars Solar under the recommendation of Alphonso.
Alphonso upgrade his solar system from 3KW to 10KW.He set up a factory to produce pure water. This 10KW solar system powers his factory and helps his business develop,earn more money.
