Re: [AFMUG] OT Solar and battery backup

[Bill Prince]

Most home solar systems (at least the ones around here) are the grid-tie variety because it gets you solar without the most expensive component; the batteries. These are dirt simple, as they are easy to make safe from back-energizing the grid. You might look into the powerwall, as that is a grid-tie system that maintains  the safety factor of disconnecting the grid in the event of a power failure. One of our neighbors has a battery backup, but I don't think it's a powerwall. If you also want to integrate a generator, you are probably going to need a two-stage transfer switch. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 9/8/2018 12:10 PM, Sterling Jacobson wrote: What’s the current good method for adding a 10 panel system with battery backup for 100A home system?   Seems like several solar panel kit options that use microinverters tied to a main system which ties to the main breaker.   But not sure how to integrate battery system into that.   Seems like the current solar guys all want to just install the solar system and send extra to the grid or offset, not backup battery.   And on top of that, what if I want a standard Generac 11kw generator integrated into the mix?
