Feasibility: Running off-grid solar systems without a battery is possible, but it may limit energy availability during non-sunny periods. While traditional setups typically rely on batteries to store excess energy for use during low-sunlight hours, innovative solutions and. . An off-grid inverter is a crucial part of a standalone solar power system, designed to function entirely without a connection to the public electricity grid. You generate, store, and use all your electricity independently — no utility bills, no power outages from the grid, and total control over your energy source.
