This information is true of  ALL Solar Systems.

1. A Solar Power System is basically operating on the batteries. That is, nearly ALL the power being used is coming from the battery/s. You see, the solar panel/s are there to charge the battery/s and keep them charged.  And during periods of no use, they continue to charge the batteries. And any excess power from the panels can be used for other things like selling it back to the power company but that's another subject. So, if your battery/s fail, you only have whatever power the solar panel/s can give you. No sun, no power without the battery/s. It's basically a big solar charging station for your battery/s most of the time.

However, if you are using less power than the solar panels are putting out, then the battery may not used at all, and the power will come from the solar panel/s. For instance, a system having a 200 watt panel, and running a laptop computer that uses 80 watts then the batteries are not used at all during daylight hours. All the power is coming from the 200 watt panel. Once the sun goes down, the power is then coming from the batteries and this determines how long your system will run a given device. Under these conditions (using a 80 watt computer)all the power is coming from your batteries. The less power needed, the longer it will run. There are calculations involved to determine run times that are not covered here.

The complete system is using solar panel/s to charge a battery/s. The battery is connected to a Power Inverter that converts the battery voltage to 120 volts AC for your appliances. The power inverter is rated in watts output with a surge rating for a motor startup that is usually double the average rating. Example: A system using a 800 watt power inverter usually has a surge of 1600 watts. It's the inverter that runs everything using the battery/s power. Unless the load power is less than the solar panel's output, in which case the solar panel/s can provide all the power needed. This condition would be any load that uses less than the 200 watts solar panel. A 200 watt panel can supply almost all of the power needed for a load using less than 200 watts.

There are some big advantages to using a Solar System.
2.Solar power is Quiet. No moving parts except for a cooling fan on the inverter. Neighbors will like the fact there is no noise.

3. No gasoline or diesel fuel required. Operating Costs, ZERO. You will still have power long after the neighbors generators run out of gas. In any emergency, fuel is always hard to get, ask anyone who has been in one. This makes our Solar systems great for not only emergencies, but also for long term use, camping, boating, and off grid use.


 4. Expandable. The money you spend today is not wasted if you want to expand your system. You can add more solar panels, more batteries, and larger inverters for even more power and run times. Thus giving you more flexibility and savings in the future.

5. We tell you the truth. We sell the best products we can find. This means quality and reliability are our number one goals that go into building each and every system.
