Mage 3 KW Kit

In a very interesting development Mage Solar has developed a new solar kit at 3 kw ,that is designed to be used by both off grid and grid tie families.
It is possible to even use this system as an emergency power stand alone energy source during a power outage, which have become all too frequent it seems.
Since it is geared mainly to the residential home owner in the United States or small commercial setups it is easy to setup.
Using the company’s Powertec Plus modules, and a regular roof pitch mounting system it is set for nearly any household.
There is an inverter and charge controller unit to charge an existing battery backup system.
You could alternatively use a grid tie setup, with a different inverter package and use this after any natural disaster.
It is UL listed and is designed to quickly respond to power needs. Even when the power goes out this system will be there to work for your power needs.
By using the battery backup you have effectively created a system that will work all the time, something that traditional grid tie systems do not do.
For years solar companies have been fogging the advantages of grid tie but whenever a storm hits or some other large natural disaster hits and the grid goes down you are left without power, just like everyone else.
And isn’t that the whole idea of installing renewable energy, or at least one of the main ideas?
To be at least modestly protected from natural disasters interfering with our lifestyle.
Any family that has a backup system installed never regrets it. One day down and you know the feeling. Families that rely on grid tie, are in essence relying on the grid as their backup. What is the difference in that.
That is why the Mage system is different, it answers the one main question, what do I do when the grid is down and there is a blackout?
