Your Solar System Won't Run the Whole House in an Outage
A minute-by-minute walk through a grid outage: what your inverter senses, how it isolates the house, and why only the backup sub-board circuits stay live.
System Architectures
How grid-tied, hybrid, battery-ready and grid-backup systems are configured and how they use solar, battery and municipal power during normal and load shedding conditions.
Does a Grid-Tied Solar System Work During Load Shedding
Whether your panels keep working during load shedding comes down to one thing: can the inverter run islanded? Here's how to test yours before you sign a quote.
What quietly voids your listed inverter's certification
A listed inverter is only compliant as part of a configuration. Settings, firmware and the battery's separate rules decide whether the approval still holds.
Zero export solar is possible even where the grid says no
Zero export solar is possible where the grid refuses. How control moves to the meter, where surplus power goes, and why a load-drop test matters.
The Gap Between Grid And Battery That Resets Your Devices
The grid drops, the inverter switches in milliseconds, and some devices sail through while others reboot. Here's what decides which is which.
Sizing the inverter around the fridge, Wi-Fi and gate motor
Backup inverter sizing starts with the essential-loads list, not the catalogue. How standby loads, fridge surges and kettle-sized resistors set the number.
The battery upgrade you can only plan for at installation
Battery-ready and hybrid are settled on installation day, not later. What the inverter's DC input, the DB circuit split and battery space really lock in.
