Solar panels can be used to generate electricity to residences located in inaccessible areas where there is no electricity grid.

For the installation of a photovoltaic system in residences is required a review that takes into account the construction specificities of each house such as orientation, shading from adjacent buildings and available surface installation. The on-site power generation gives independence and therefore many individuals install photovoltaic systems to avoid the effects of sudden power cuts.

The installation of photovoltaic systems in homes without access to mains electricity is often a more attractive option compared to the cost of connecting to the electric company.
