What a Battery With Backup Does

A battery with a backup-capable inverter keeps chosen circuits running during an outage. Your panels can recharge the battery in daylight.

Backup Options

  • Essential circuits: fridge, lights, internet, power points.
  • Whole-home backup: needs a larger inverter and battery.
