Solar panels for energy independence are made to fit off-grid or highly self-sufficient configurations. They are usually coupled with strong energy storage units like lithium-ion batteries to ensure uninterrupted power supply. To maximize energy generation from HVAC applications, high-efficiency panels are preferred due to the limited sunlight available. These systems need to be tailored very precisely for the consumers in regard to their energy use habits, the number of cloudy days, and the sunlight. By switching to solar panels, customers are able to reduce grid dependence and achieve better independence and reliability in energy use.
