This battery-based PV system combines the benefits of grid-tied solar along with the independence and peace-of-mind found living off-grid. During normal operation, excess energy produced by the 45 Canadian Solar 315 watt panels is sent into the grid to reduce your energy costs. In the event of a power outage, the battery-based inverter will turn on automatically to power essential appliances including lights, refrigerator, well pump, cell phone chargers, computers and more. This design combines the best of both worlds, reducing your power bill and providing backup power in an emergency.
The heart of this system utilizes cutting edge technology from OutBack Power. OutBack Powers Radian GS8048A inverter/charger and FM80 charge controllers comprise the power center, harnessing energy from your solar array and providing seamless battery backup power. The Radian inverter automatically senses a power outage and energizes your essential appliances in under a second, providing 16,000 watts of continuous output, enough power for large loads such as a typical household 240Vac well pump.
Installing your system has never been easier with pre-wired and tested power centers. Factory-trained technicians have already assembled the inverter, controller, remote control, battery monitor, and necessary AC and DC disconnects for a safe, code-compliant power center ready to hang on your wall. Weve also included OutBack Powers ICS Plus Combiner package, which adds extra safety features including arc fault circuit interuption and rapid system shutdown.
This grid-tied with battery backup package is one of the most sophisticated household renewable energy systems available. Outback Powers advanced technology and pre-wired power center assure a simplified, code-compliant installation with exceptional features.
