There are three main types of Solar Systems available
A. Grid-Tie System
During daylight hours a grid connected solar system will power your home or business from electricity harvested from the sun. When your electricity demand is less than what your solar system is producing, your inverter will automatically feed the excess power back into the mains grid. At night times, when your electricity demands exceed your solar system production, you will automatically import power from the mains grid.
Grid connect is simply buying power when you need it and selling it back when you produce more than you use. This way, the utility is there as a backup, only when you need it.

B. A hybrid system is a grid-connected solar system with battery storage capabilities.
During daylight hours a hybrid grid-connected solar system will power your home or business from electricity harvested from the sun.
When your electricity demand is less than what your solar system is generating, your inverter will automatically feed the excess power back into battery storage.
Power can be drawn at night, during black outs or long periods of cloud cover / no sun, from the stored energy in the batteries. Our hybrid systems offer additional sources to deliver power including wind and generator.

C. Off-Grid / Stand Alone Solar Systems
Off grid stand alone systems are designed to deliver power throughout the day and night with battery storage capabilities. Off-grid solar systems are sometimes the only solution for home owners and for systems that do not have access to an electrical grid.
This system work by storing the solar energy into a bank of high quality Trojan batteries. The stored energy is then sent to an inverter that converts the energy from direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). The inverter sends that AC electricity to the breaker box in your home, which provides the electricity to power your household outlets, lights and appliances.
