There are 3 ways to add solar battery backup to an existing grid-tie system: AC coupling, DC coupling, or replacing your inverter. Grid-tied inverters need the power grid to operate—they constantly sense grid voltage and frequency and will shut off if it falls out of range. Retrofitting solar systems with new equipment can be tricky because of all the different equipment options and various methods for incorporating energy storage.

Properly configured, a grid tie inverter enables a building to use an alternative power generation system such as solar or wind power without extensive rewiring and without batteries. A grid-tie inverter converts (DC) into an (AC) suitable for injecting into an , at the same voltage and frequency of that power grid. With the electricity company pays for the net power injected into the grid, as recorded by a meter.

An on grid system is connected to the utility grid, off grid is independent of the grid and backed up by batteries, whereas a hybrid is a combination of both. Also known as a grid-tied or grid-connected system, in this system direct current. Generally, on-grid solar setups are suggested for residential and commercial purposesas they are both cost-effective and efficient.

Hybrid solar systems combine the best of grid-tied and off-grid solar systems; the solar panels are attached to batteries and the utility grid.
