This solar package also includes: NEC required PV system labels, a single line electrical diagram, and our standard design and installation support package.

IMPORTANT: This power system requires solar batteries, which are not included.

Because power storage requirements differ greatly, we have not included a solar battery bank in this grid hybrid solar kit. Instead, we will use the information you provide to calculate how much power storage you need to provide power for the number of days you want if there is insufficient solar production without you having to charge with a generator (days of autonomy).
