Types of grid-tie systems

Basic Grid Tie: A solar array produces power during the day, and an inverter synchronizes this power with that supplied by the utility. Your home uses solar energy first, and draws whatever else it needs from your utility. At night, the utility supplies 100% of your power. Most basic grid-tie systems (without battery backup) use Fronius or Sunny Boy inverters.

Grid Tie + Backup: Your solar system functions the same way as a basic grid tie system, delivering power to your home during the day. But your system also has battery storage. In the event of grid power failure, your inverter switches to battery power to supply your home’s needs. This keeps your important equipment running during outages or brownouts.

Backup solar power systems that supply power to the grid after a battery bank is fully charged typically use an Outback grid-tie inverter power panel. This has a built-in charge controller. Contact us for more information.

Types of stand-alone systems

Stand alone residential system: These are systems intended to run a home that does not have electricity provided by a utility company. These use a solar array that charges a battery bank. You can run lights and appliances off of your DC battery bank or through an inverter that supplies standard AC power.

Weatherproof solar system: Often referred to as MAPPS, these are systems intended to run equipment in a rural environment with little maintenence. These independent solar power systems use a NEMA rated enclosure. They are used for telemetry, SCADA, flow control meter, WI-FI, radio repeater, survelliance camera and lighting applications. CSA Class 1, Div II available.

Contact us to configure a solar power system using a NEMA rated weatherproof enclosure to suit your needs. These usually use a side of pole mount, other mounting options available. Class 1, Div 2 certification also available.
