Solar electric systems with the benefit of
battery backup offer the best of both worlds to the owner. They
feed electricity to the grid when over producing and have the
independence of the battery backup facility. This backup can be used
when your solar system is producing less power than you are using and it
will provide the owner with power when the grid fails.
The major difference, when comparing this type
of solar system, is that the solar
(photovoltaic) array is used to charge the
battery bank. The batteries then supply the power, via an inverter, to
the home or grid.
These systems require specific design, sizing and component selection.
A Battery Backup system is ideal for home owners and small businesses
where power outages are common and disruptive to their lifestyle.
The battery bank provides the owner with a backup supply for critical
power loads such as computers, refrigerators, water pumps and lighting.
This system is also ideal for people wanting more independence from the
grid.
These types of systems are also know as Bimodal and have the flexibility
to operate as a ‘grid tied’ system and a ‘stand alone’ system.
SUNS UP SOLAR will provide the
necessary design and component sizing required to allow you to realize
you power independence.
This type of system will typically have the following main components:
·
Solar Array
·
Solar Inverter
·
Charge Controller
·
