Silent backup power.
WHAT AN INVERTER SYSTEM DOES
Stores electricity in batteries, and converts it to mains-style power when needed.
WHAT IT PROVIDES
Silent operation No fuel No emissions Instant switchover Low maintenance
WHAT IT DOES NOT PROVIDE
Energy. It stores what the grid or solar supplies.
WHY THAT DISTINCTION MATTERS
An inverter cannot help if there is never enough grid supply to charge it.
WHAT THE COMPONENTS ARE
Batteries, which store The inverter, which converts A charger, frequently built in Cabling and protection
WHAT THE INVERTER RATING DETERMINES
How much load you can run at once.
WHAT THE BATTERY CAPACITY DETERMINES
How long you can run it.
WHY BOTH MATTER SEPARATELY
A large inverter with small batteries runs heavy loads briefly.
WHAT SUITS INVERTERS BEST
Lights, fans, computers, network equipment, televisions.
WHAT SUITS THEM POORLY
Air conditioning, water heaters, electric cookers, heavy motors.
WHY
They draw far more than a reasonably sized system can supply for long.
WHAT A TYPICAL BUSINESS SETUP LOOKS LIKE
Essential circuits on the inverter, heavy loads on grid or generator only.
WHAT THAT REQUIRES
Separating circuits during installation.
WHY IT IS WORTH DOING
It is what makes the system affordable.
