GridPoint Connect

The Connect Series provides everything but the solar panels for a grid-connected photovoltaic backup power system. Electronics, inverter, charge controller, recyclable batteries, and other components are combined in a single “plug-and-play” unit that makes sure the batteries are always fully charged and supplying electricity. Excess power is fed into the power grid. If the grid is down, critical loads will be handled by the solar array and batteries. An internet-based management portal provides detailed statistics that can help users understand and modify their energy consumption patterns.
