Grid-Connected Solar for Homes
Use solar generation alongside the electricity grid, without making battery storage part of the standard arrangement.
A home system that works with the grid
A grid-connected home solar system combines solar panels and an inverter with the property’s grid connection. It is the option to discuss when you want solar generation without a battery-storage arrangement.
The grid remains part of the system. Electricity import and any export need to be considered together with the applicable connection and metering arrangements.
What makes this arrangement different
No standard battery bank
The grid-connected home option is described as battery-free. Battery backup should be discussed as a different requirement.
Grid connection matters
Ask how your proposed installation will connect and what metering arrangements apply.
Outage limitation
The system shuts down when the grid fails. Do not select it on the assumption that panels alone will keep household circuits powered.
Prepare for the design discussion
Send your electricity bills, roof photographs and supply details. Explain which appliances are normally used during daylight hours and whether outage backup is a separate priority.
Questions and answers
Before you decide
Does this home solar option include batteries?
No. It is a grid-connected, battery-free arrangement.
What does the inverter do?
It converts the panels’ DC electricity into AC electricity for use in the connected system.
Will it keep supplying the home when the grid fails?
No. The grid-connected system shuts down during a grid outage.
Can surplus electricity be exported?
Discuss the applicable grid-connection and metering arrangements before assuming an export facility or payment.
What should I compare when backup is important?
Review a suitably designed hybrid or off-grid home arrangement and explain the loads you need supported.
