5.0 INTRODUCTION
5.1 How it works
The grid-connected solar power system generates electricity directly from the sun's energy for use in your home. It is used to
power appliances, lights, the hot water cylinder and anything else that is drawing power at the time. The battery system will
automatically detect when the solar system is generating surplus electricity and begin to charge. If the system is fully charged,
and the supply from the solar system still exceeds your energy demand, electricity will be exported to the grid. This energy is
metered and is purchased by your electricity retailer at an agreed tariff.
When the solar system is not generating enough to supply the load requirements of your home and the batteries are charged,
the battery system supplies electricity to your home. If your energy demand exceeds the battery system's supply capacity, or it is
fully discharged, additional electricity is drawn from the grid.
You will still purchase power from the grid, on a rainy day for example, when the solar array can't supply enough energy to
supplement your household loads and the battery is already fully discharged. And vice versa; if the battery is fully charged and
the electricity production of the solar array exceeds the current household demand, clean energy will be exported to the grid.
