Chapter 1
What happens through the day?
Daytime: Use solar; store available surplus.
In short
- Your approved tariff sets the rates. Self-use, bill credits and payment for residual surplus are different. We compare using your connection’s rules.
Daytime: Use solar; store available surplus. Evening: Draw on stored energy. Outage: Separate backup circuits supply selected appliances. Grid charging, export and reserve follow equipment capabilities and applicable rules.

What needs to stay on?
Lights, fans, Wi-Fi, the fridge or computer? Make your list. ACs and pumps need running and starting-power checks. We estimate runtime for the selected appliances.

Check the complete system.
We review the inverter, panels, meter, phases, wiring and warranties, including battery compatibility and a safe backup arrangement for selected appliances.
In short
- Not to every system. Equipment, wiring, metering, approvals and warranties need checks. Some parts may stay; others may change. An upgrade review identifies options.

What can run? For how long?
Solar kWp: Panel capacity.
In short
- Usable energy, starting charge, reserve and load determine runtime. We estimate for your appliance list. More running appliances reduce available time.
Solar kWp: Panel capacity. Backup kW: Load supported at once. Usable battery kWh: Stored energy available to use. Runtime is estimated for the appliances running together.

Less routine maintenance.
LFP lithium batteries need no water topping. Suitable placement, temperature and periodic checks still matter. We explain equipment maintenance and warranty conditions.
In short
- LFP needs no water topping. Installation, temperature and periodic checks still matter. Life and performance depend on use and manufacturer conditions.

Will solar fast-charge my EV?
Solar can provide charging energy. Speed depends on the vehicle, charger and available power. DC alone is not faster; compatible controlled charging equipment is needed.

- Solar can provide charging energy. Speed depends on the vehicle, charger and available power. DC alone is not faster; compatible controlled charging equipment is needed.

Grid connection and metering
Confirm the permitted connection, meter and export arrangement before installation.
In short
- Export permission and backup circuits are separate checks.
Grid import, solar export and battery operation depend on the approved metering arrangement and equipment settings. A credit for exported energy is not the same as physical backup during an outage.
Ask for a clear explanation of billing, fixed charges, export settlement and the permissions needed for a new installation or battery upgrade. Keep approval and commissioning records with your system documents.

About the guide
Before you read on.
Must I replace my on-grid system?
No. A working on-grid system remains useful. Consider storage when evening use or backup matters. Compare added cost with your needs.
Will solar work during a cut?
Standard on-grid shuts down with the grid. Backup requires a suitable inverter, compatible charged battery and separate circuits. Hybrid supplies the loads selected in its design.
How long will backup last?
Usable energy, starting charge, reserve and load determine runtime. We estimate for your appliance list. More running appliances reduce available time.
Can it run an AC or pump?
Yes, with a system designed for the load. Check running power, starting demand and simultaneous appliances. Both battery capacity and inverter power matter.
Can I add a battery directly?
Not to every system. Equipment, wiring, metering, approvals and warranties need checks. Some parts may stay; others may change. An upgrade review identifies options.
Will my computer stay on?
Inverter transfer time and the computer’s tolerance need checking. Sensitive equipment may still need a dedicated UPS alongside hybrid solar.
How much battery maintenance?
LFP needs no water topping. Installation, temperature and periodic checks still matter. Life and performance depend on use and manufacturer conditions.
Can hybrid receive subsidy?
Eligible residential grid-connected hybrid may receive assistance based on solar capacity. Battery cost does not increase central assistance. Current rules and approvals apply.
How do meters and exports affect bills?
Your approved tariff sets the rates. Self-use, bill credits and payment for residual surplus are different. We compare using your connection’s rules.
Will I stop needing the grid?
Most hybrids retain it. Long outages, heavy loads and low sunlight can exhaust storage. Full off-grid operation needs a separate design and budget.
Will solar fast-charge my EV?
Solar can provide charging energy. Speed depends on the vehicle, charger and available power. DC alone is not faster; compatible controlled charging equipment is needed.
Can I view readings in the app?
The customer RMS app is not released yet. Call/WhatsApp for available readings and service. Battery readings depend on equipment and connectivity.
