Now that we know your LOAD, your RESOURCE, and your system OBJECTIVES, we can now determine your optimum SYSTEM. Now is the key step after Step (1) defining your load electrically in terms of Power and Energy. Step (2)is to define your local renewable energy resources, namely what is the average peak solar hours/day? And, what is the average annual wind speed? In Step (3) your objective is to define what "type" of system you're looking for. There are essentially three "types" of renewable energy systems: Grid Tie (usually Net-Metering systems), Grid Tie with Battery Back up, and third Stand-Alone. A Stand-Alone system does not touch or interconnect to the Grid. Even though the Solar Photovoltaic (PV) panels you choose, and the Wind Generator you choose, each of these three types of systems use different Inverter technology.
