Can Project Solar Tie-In a Generator to My System?

One alternative to a solar battery is a natural gas, diesel, or gasoline whole-home backup generator. Unlike batteries, however, Project Solar does not currently offer generators.

We also cannot directly facilitate the tie-in of a generator to your system--this would need to be done through a third party. Generators will need to be compatible with Enphase equipment, as we exclusively use Enphase microinverters for our systems. 

A list of Enphase-approved standby generators can be found here: Generator Integration with the Enphase Energy System

To connect a generator to your system, you'll also need a System Controller 2 (the same component used to connect a battery to your system). Project Solar systems do not include this equipment by default, so please be sure to request it specifically.
