Do you want to go off-grid? This video shows an introduction to the parts of a battery-based solar PV system. These systems can be configured in several ways: completely off-grid, grid-tied with battery backup, or grid-zero. The system shown here grid-zero, meaning solar and battery energy is prioritized for the home’s loads, and the grid is only used as a backup. This system can also push excess solar energy to the grid through a net metering agreement with the local utility.
Battery-based solar systems will operate with or without grid presence, while strictly grid-tied (battery-less) systems will not operate in a grid outage, due to NEC regulations and anti-islanding.
If you want to go off-grid, or provide backup power your home in a grid outage, you need a battery-based system.
