Rooftop solar array and inverter

On-grid solar systems

Generate electricity for your building while staying connected to the utility grid. An on-grid system is designed primarily around electricity use and bill reduction.

  • For homes and businesses with a grid connection
  • Match capacity to consumption, roof area and supply
  • Export arrangements depend on utility approval

Battery storage and inverter for a stand-alone power system

Off-grid solar systems

Plan an independent solar power supply around your actual loads, daily energy use and required operating hours. Off-grid design prioritises adequate generation, storage and load management.

  • For remote or independent power requirements
  • Plan battery capacity and autonomy together
  • Allow for cloudy days and changing consumption

Solar installation with inverter and energy equipment

Hybrid solar systems

Combine solar generation, the utility grid and compatible battery storage. Plan how the system powers selected loads, charges the battery and responds to a grid interruption.

  • Solar generation with planned energy storage
  • Define essential loads and backup duration
  • Check inverter, battery and transfer compatibility

CHOOSE YOUR SYSTEM

On-grid, off-grid or hybrid?

Start with whether you need bill reduction, independent power or a planned backup supply.

Typical system configurations; the final design depends on your site and equipment.
