    A major issue with off-grid solar and wind systems is that the power is often needed when the sun is not shining or when the wind is calm, this is generally not required for purely grid-connected systems: a series of deep cycle, stationary or sealed maintenance free batteries (the most common solution) [11]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applications_of_photovoltaics

    Usually, the DIY-community uses inexpensive [44] or high efficiency systems [45] (such as those with solar tracking) to generate their own power. As a result, the DIY-systems often end up cheaper than their commercial counterparts. [46] Often the system is also connected to the regular power grid, using net metering instead of a battery for ...

  7. Microgrid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microgrid

    A dynamic system apportions the energy provided by the solar panels and stored in the battery and hot water heaters to the system of 23 houses. The smart grid software dynamically updates energy supply and demand in 5-minute intervals, deciding whether to pull energy from the battery or from the panels and when to store it in the hot water heaters.
