Off-grid solar makes possible a wide range of applications and continues on a path of rapid growth.

Today, off-grid applications ranging from private residences and eco-resorts to remote lighting, telecom and community microgrids in developing countries, benefit from battery storage solutions.

Opportunities for growth in the off-grid energy storage market are found in both developing and developed regions of the world. Let’s take the oil and gas industry, which has seen the pairing of two unlikely industries: solar and big oil. In recent years, oil companies have relied on solar power with battery storage to operate remote well pumps in some of the harshest environments throughout the world to avoid costly downtime. Solar power is displacing previous power methods such as diesel generators and pneumatic pumps, which have both economic and environmental repercussions. The use of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind with battery storage are now in place to operate many of these remote oil production sites.
