Hybrid Systems
A hybrid system that includes 2 inverters can be ideal especially if you spend a lot of time at home during the day or work from home. A system like this uses one inverter to draw and supply power directly from the sun while it's shining and another to charge the battery.
The advantage of a hybrid system is that it reduces the load on your battery during the day and extends it's life. As the sun goes down your battery will be fully charged and ready to supply your nighttime needs. In the morning when the sun comes up the cycle begins again and your battery starts to recharge again while you use the sun directly for your power.

Off Grid Solar System Batteries
Batteries are most often shipped separately to you ready for connection. We supply the cables ready for this. If you are not comfortable dealing with electricity you can call a local electrician to safely assist you. Our battery systems are 48 volts so some some care is required.

Please ask us about this.
Off Grid Solar System PV Panels
The solar panels are normally shipped directly to you from our nearest supplier. You may need an experienced roofer to be fix the panels correctly to the roof. We normally do not supply railings for the roof however these can be ordered as a separate item. If you have the space and prefer you can choose to have the panels a-framed and placed on the ground which you can do your self. You can also A-frame the panels on the roof. We will explain how this works and the advantages it offers.
FAQs
