Gen-3 Solar Systems
Most old generation of battery inverters shutdown when the utility power fails. The new Gen-3 inverters continue to provide output power to your home, even when the utility power is out. Gen-3 inverters are battery-ready for future upgrades to enable time-shifting of your power and off-grid capability.

If you need the most complete array of solar functions in your solar system, Gen-3 is the answer. Starting with the standalone Gen-3 inverter, homeowners can have it all. This inverter can operate as a grid-tied inverter, and will automatically maintain solar system output power output when the utility power fails.
If battery backup is desired, batteries can be added later, to the same inverter!
