Grid
A grid-connected solar power system works seamlessly with the existing utility grid and will try to meet the load demand. The addition of a battery-backup allows the system to maintain a balance of production and demand. The solar systems production depends on the availability of sunlight.
When production exceeds demand, the excess power can be used to charge the batteries, which store the electricity. When the system is producing less electricity than demanded by the home or businesses it will still have the ability to draw from the grid.
Some grid tie systems are used purely for saving power during daylight hours with specific types of inverters and others have specific types of inverters which are both grid tie and they charge batteries for night time backup.
Off Grid
Is a system that is completely disconnected from the electric grid. Instead, batteries are used to balance the system’s excess production.
The use of a generator can also be added to the system to protect against prolonged shortfalls when the solar system is under-producing and the batteries are discharged.
Hybrid
Hybrid systems comprise of specific inverters and controllers. They use various power sources to prioritize power utilization for loads and manage battery charging.
Some inverters also manage the times at which various power sources can be utilized to avoid peak charges from a power utility suppliers.
UPS & Battery Backup
An uninterruptible power supply (UPS), also known as a battery backup, provides backup power when your regular power source fails.
These are usually smaller systems used to power limited a amount items during required periods and are usually more cost effective than a traditional solar system.
