System Preview Video for Hans Kaiser, Central FL: The vast majority of renewable energy systems installed today are direct grid tie. Direct grid tie systems simply convert the DC of wind, solar or hydro to AC power and feed power back to the main panel to slow down or spin back your meter. Although more efficient, when the grid power fails on a direct grid tie system, the user has NO POWER. This system in this video utilzes a hybrid grid tie with battery backup inverter/charger. (Outback GTVFX & Xantrex XW are the only 2 on the market) The solar & wind will charge the batteries, when the batteries are full, excess power generated slows down the utility meter or spins it backwards. In the event of a grid failure, solar and wind power is still usable & battery backup will automatically take over until the grid power is restored. The only additional cost is about 0 plus the batteries & cables. If you wanted to retrofit a direct grid tie system to be compatible with batteries will require a new inverter/charger (00), a charge controller, and a massive PV array rewire. Or you can drop 00 for the "Sunny Island" inverter that will take in AC power from an existing grid-tie only inverter, then connect to batteries. The Sunny Island is the easiest retro-fit for existing grid-tie PV and the only option for "SunPower" brand positive ground PV panels. If you want juice when the utility fails, purchase this (outback) system (or an XW) from the start. Please note: If you'd ...
