Reference system blueprints
Three architectures that cover most prosumer goals. Each blueprint includes a starter bill of materials you can price today. Use the pillar tools first if you are unsure on sizing.
Solar first, battery ready
Best when you want to reduce the bill now and add storage later. Simple path to a clean install if your utility rules are friendly.
What this looks like
- Grid tied solar sized for your roof and interconnection cap
- Monitoring for production and consumption
- Battery ready wiring plan for a future hybrid inverter or AC coupled storage
Battery first for backup, solar later
Best when outages matter more than payback. You get clean backup now, then add solar whenever it is convenient.
What this looks like
- Hybrid inverter plus LFP batteries
- Critical loads panel to keep the system right sized
- Monitoring to validate actual backed up loads
Generator first, then storage, then solar
Best dollars per kWh for long outages. Add modest batteries later for silent overnight and smooth starts.
What this looks like
- Portable inverter generator or standby generator, sized for critical loads
- Safe transfer gear: interlock or transfer switch
- Optional small battery to ride through starts and handle short outages silently
