Hi Guys,

Will it be feasible if i plan to add a hybrid solar system to run household items that is on 24/7 ie the fridge?

The idea is to have solar panel, "inverter+charge controller" and a battery. The inverter+charge controller will have to be able to switch between solar power to battery power to grid....

So in a normal sunny day it will use solar to charge batter and power the fridge, once solar is inadequate it will switch to battery, then when battery power kaput it will switch to grid.......the size of the battery can be determined by using the most efficient $$ per ahr

BTW I am a newbie to solar and just thinking of doing a green project. This is a small step for eco friendly but one big step for me.

Please share your expertise with me.

Just wondering out loud, would it not possible to adapt a back up power unit like UPS to do this? So solar to charge and priority load on solar, then solar power kaput switch load to battery.....the challenge is how to "instruct" it to switch to grid when battery kaput (and no solar)....

Is this kind of device available in other countries? I travel a fair bit within Asia and Europe, so if it is available i can stow away in my luggage..

This is the solution, you own one?
