Solar systems

Modular hybrid system

Separate on-grid and off-grid systems sharing the same panels, joined by Powergate’s own AutoSwitch. It can be added to a UPS you already have.

Best for: Homes and offices that already own a UPS and want solar without replacing it.

How power flows in an modular hybrid system

Features

  • Combines on-grid and off-grid systems
  • Can be retrofitted to an existing UPS
  • Separate on-grid and off-grid systems linked by Powergate’s proprietary AutoSwitch
  • Off-grid side customised to your backup needs
  • The same solar panels serve both systems
  • Fully automatic, with or without the grid
  • Exports surplus units to the grid

How it works through the day

1

Sunny day

Panels power your loads first, then charge the battery. Any surplus is exported to the grid.

2

Night or cloudy day

The battery supplies your loads. When it runs low, the grid takes over.

3

Power cut

The system switches to battery and solar automatically, so connected loads keep running.

Benefits

  • Reuses your existing UPS and batteries
  • Power during blackouts
  • Scalable: add capacity as needs grow
  • Can reduce reliance on a diesel generator
  • Protection and earthing as required by the electricity supply company

Good to know

  • Needs a survey of your existing UPS and batteries to confirm compatibility.
