No batteries are required. This is a grid-tied system that directly connects to your home’s panel and the utility grid. Optional battery backup can be added if desired.
Yes! This kit is DIY-friendly with plug-and-play connections and pre-configured trunk cables. However, for safety and code compliance, we recommend hiring a certified electrician to complete the final grid-tie connection.
The included SunModo SMR Pitched Roof System is designed for asphalt shingles. If you have a different roof type (metal, tile, flat), reach out for alternative mounting options.
No. As a safety feature, grid-tied solar systems shut down automatically during an outage. For backup power, you’ll need a battery bank or generator setup.
