Whole Home Backup (Load Side Tap)
When a load side tap is used, the solar power system is
connected to the electrical distribuon system aer the main
breaker panel. Depending on the home’s structure, this design
may be necessary. In this case, another separate breaker panel
is ulized within the solar system, carrying all the electrical
loads in that home. In this scenario, when o-grid, or during an
electrical grid outage, the addional main breaker panel carrying
all loads will be supplied power from the baery.

BACKUP OPTIONS
Depending on the design of the system, the HomeGrid Stack’d
Series is able to parally or fully back up electrical circuits in
small homes or even large commercial buildings. Described
below are some general ways in which the HomeGrid Stack’d
Series baery is electrically congured into the typical
residenal home for whole home, or paral home backup.
Note that all scenario’s described below involve an electrical
grid connecon, though connecon to the electrical grid is not
necessary for funconal operaon. Addionally, in all cases,
“smart load management” equipment may be incorporated into
these systems.
A line side tap allows for the direct connecon of a solar power
system to the electrical grid without passing through the main
breaker panel. In this scenario, when o-grid, or during an
electrical grid outage, the home’s exisng main breaker panel
carrying all loads will be supplied power from the baery.
