☀️ Off-Grid Barn Conversion: 10kW Solar & Victron System in the Yorkshire Dales! 🏴
Join Leigh and the team from Off-Grid Installer as they take on a stunning barn conversion project in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales, right on the edge of Grassington. This remote property required a powerful, reliable, and completely independent energy solution to achieve full off-grid living!
🔋 The Off-Grid Power System:
We’re installing a robust system featuring leading Victron Energy components to provide clean, consistent power to the barn conversion:
- Solar Power: A massive 10,000 Watt (10kW) solar PV array is installed, consisting of 20 x 500W panels. This includes 16 South-facing panels for maximum generation and 4 West-facing panels to capture late afternoon sun.
- Inverter & Charge Control: At the heart of the system is a 10kVA Victron MultiPlus-II inverter/charger and a Victron RS 200 SmartSolar MPPT charge controller.
- Battery Storage: The power shed houses a well-insulated battery box for the energy storage system, ensuring reliable power day and night.
- Generator Backup: For periods of low solar production, the system includes a 10kVA Steppl auto-start generator (approx. 8kW usable power), perfectly housed in its own shed to minimize noise, which integrates seamlessly with the Victron system to top up the batteries when needed.
- Control & Monitoring: The entire system is managed by a Victron Color Control GX, giving the homeowner, Johnny, full insight and remote control over his power generation and usage.
This project is a perfect example of how remote barn conversions can be powered sustainably and reliably, even in the heart of the countryside! Watch the video to see the installation process and the final setup.
