autonomous system

A stand-alone photovoltaic system that has no back-up generating source. It may or may not include storage batteries. Most battery systems are designed for a certain minimum "days of autonomy," which means that the batteries can supply sufficient power with no sunlight to charge the batteries. This varies from 3-5 days in very sunny regions, to 5 to 10 days elsewhere.
