AC Coupling: Adding Batteries to a Grid Tie Solar System
The battery-based inverter is connected to an electrical sub-panel that contains circuits to all the loads you consider essential to use during a utility outage. When the battery-based inverter senses the grid is down, it shuts off power going to the grid automatically and begins to power your essential loads from your batteries.

6 FAQs about [Afghanistan battery to grid]
Is there a power grid in Afghanistan?
Most rural areas in Afghanistan, accounting for 75 % of the population, are not connected to the grid. The power supply is limited to self-made solar PV rooftop systems, which cannot be used for productive use to support economic activities.
Does solar power increase grid electricity in Afghanistan?
Along with increasing grid electricity, this appears driven in large part by the expansion in solar home systems. Two-thirds of households in the research sample have access to solar electricity, almost all as their primary source of electricity. This is one of the most important pieces of the Afghanistan Energy puzzle.
Can a hybrid energy system be used to electrify rural areas in Afghanistan?
In this study, the HOMER optimization tool was applied to investigate the performance and economic analysis of three hybrid renewable energy systems to select the best option for the electrification of rural areas in Afghanistan. The technical, economic, sensitivity and multi-year analy-sis criteria of the hybrid generation system were considered.
