Grid-Tied with Partial Backup

A hybrid system that generates solar energy during the day and uses the utility grid for additional support, but in the event of an outage, only essential loads (such as refrigerator, lighting, water pump, or other critical equipment) are backed up by the battery.

Advantages

  • Lower investment compared to full backup.

  • Good balance between security (keeping essentials running) and cost.

  • Energy efficiency: save on high tariff periods using solar when available.

  • Requires less space for batteries.

nterconnected to the Grid – Full Backup

Considerations

  • During outages, only essential devices will work, not all appliances simultaneously.

  • Careful sizing is required to ensure the battery supports the critical loads that matter most to you..

Main Components

  • Solar panels for consistent daily production.

  • Inverter/charger and controller.

  • Battery bank sized for critical loads, not the entire property.

  • Monitoring and control system to know when the grid vs. battery is being used.
