Solar Integration

Yes, we frequently work with quality contractors to install solar with our HomeGrid batteries and recommend doing both solar and battery backup at the same time due to increased efficiency.

HomeGrid can be integrated with existing solar arrays. Depending on the existing system, the needed configuration will change. We have numerous systems installed that are either AC-coupled or DC-coupled to existing solar.

Yes, however, compatibility has more to do with the chosen inverters or panel-level rapid-shutdowns/optimizers/micro-inverters. If you have any questions regarding system compatibility, feel free to contact us at any time.

Yes! This is one of the great benefits of adding a battery to solar. Most solar will NOT produce electricity when there is a grid outage. This is to keep electricity from going back to the grid during repairs or to keep emergency personnel safe. When paired with HomeGrid, solar energy that is not used goes on to charge the HomeGrid battery. When more solar energy is available than can be used or stored, many inverters can route the excess and sell it back to the grid.

You can connect an array of any size, however, you will find that the limiting factor tends to be the inverter of choice. Charging rates will be limited based on the product you install. Please see our resources page to view each products’ specifications.

This varies greatly on the region and the location of solar on your property. We recommend consulting with a local solar installer. If you contact us, we would be happy to put you in contact with an installer in your area.
