SYSTEM OVERVIEW – COMPLETE PV AND BATTERY WITH BACKUP SYSTEM
Figure 2 System Overview – Complete PV and Battery With Backup System
The Solahart Complete PV and Battery system consists of the following components:
PV array – generates direct current (DC) power through the conversion of light energy from
the sun.
Backup Inverter – inverts the DC power generated from the PV array or supplied from the
Battery into alternating current (AC) power so it can be used in the home or exported to the
grid. If configured, the inverter can supply power to selected backed up loads during grid
interruptions. The Backup Inverter includes a Battery Interface for managing communication
and power between the Inverter and the Battery.
Note: Both the Inverter and house wiring will need to be configured for backup functionality to
operate. Your Solahart dealer will demonstrate and explain the operation of this
configuration.
Battery – stores DC power generated by the PV array so the power can be used when the sun
is not shining.
PV Array DC Isolators – provides means for isolating the PV array.
Battery DC Isolator – provides a means of isolating the Battery.
Inverter AC Isolator – provides overcurrent protection of the inverter and a method of isolating
the PV System from the electrical distribution grid.
Inverter Backup Load AC Isolator –provides a mean of disconnecting the inverter from the
backup loads.
Meter – measures nett electrical power to and from the grid.
