GRID-TIE with BATTERY BACKUP
A grid-tied solar system with battery backup is most useful if you live in an area where the electrical grid is unreliable, repairs to the grid tend to take a long time, or extreme weather events are common.
A grid-tied solar power system with battery backup is also known as a "hybrid solar system" because it provides a hybrid of the benefits of grid tie solar - using clean, renewable solar power as your primary source of electricity and selling excess power to the utility through net metering - with the benefits of off-grid solar - having home battery storage to power your critical loads when the grid goes down.
OFF-GRID
OFF-GRID
An off-grid solar system permits electricity to be harnessed by solar panels and stored inside a battery without direct connection to the utility grid, providing an independent power supply to your home or business.

HOW IT WORKS
Solar Panels (PV array). Solar panels are set either on your rooftop or in an open yard or property space. The Sunlight is soaked up by the solar panels and transferred to the charge controllers.
Charge Controllers. The charge controller is the “delivery man” between the solar panels, the inverters, and the battery bank. Charge controllers also act as a regulator, ensuring that the amount of power received through the solar panels does not overload the battery, instead keep the battery fully charged and top it off when needed. The charge controllers either deliver the energy directly as DC power to your lights or to the inverters to be converted into AC power for household appliances and all excess energy goes to the…
Battery Bank. With the charge controllers feeding energy to the batteries, the battery bank acts as the heart of the off-grid solar system, as it stores up excess energy for cloudy days and nights, when needed it pumps electricity to the…
Inverters. Lastly, inverters convert the DC (direct current) power into AC power which is passed on to be digested by your electronics or appliances as DC power and allows you to switch on the TV or fry up an egg.
