True energy resilience often includes solar, battery, and backup generation working together.
Backup generators are integrated into our solar systems to provide power during extended periods of low solar generation. While most grid-connected systems don’t require them, they are a vital safety net for off-grid and high-reliability projects.
Your primary source of clean, free energy.
Storing excess energy for night-time use.
The final layer of protection when batteries are low.
Total autonomy in isolated locations.
Powering lifestyle blocks where lines are unreliable.
Ensuring zero downtime for medical or data systems.
Offsetting low solar production in peak winter.
Tahi Solar designs generator integration as part of a complete energy system. Modern systems manage operation automatically:
The system starts the generator only when battery levels drop below a defined threshold.
Once batteries are recharged, the generator shuts down immediately to save fuel and reduce noise.
Solar takes priority, ensuring the generator runs only when absolutely necessary.
Occasional Backup
Reliable petrol or diesel units for occasional manual backup use.
Automated Integration
Auto-start generators integrated directly with solar battery systems.
Total Independence
Fully automated, low-noise systems designed for large off-grid estates.
