By Knowing the negative effects on environment, produced by Solar Off Grid Systems, acoording to use of batteries, it is shown a basic process for the design of photovoltaic devices, for the purpose of that systems are becoming more and more accurate and to limit the use of batteries.

The process was made from seven steps, which began with the charge characterization, solar radiation estimation in a specific geographic area, setup and sizing of photovoltaic modules, the choose of solar regulator and inverter, and the calculation of the battery bank designed to enable autonomous operation when there is little sunshine.

It is shown an algorithm in the form of a flow chart, as a result of this work, which is a basic standard process about the design of Solar Off Grid Systems, for the purpose of offer to trading companies a tool that allows them to improve the design and sell of these systems, ensuring a tight implementation without increasing the effects on the environment.
