What does DC Architecture mean?
DC architecture keeps more of the solar and storage energy path on the DC side of the system before conversion to AC for home or grid use.
What should installers verify about DC Architecture in a solar-plus-storage design?
AC- and DC-coupled architectures describe where solar, storage, and conversion equipment connect electrically. The architecture affects conversion steps, equipment count, service access, backup design, and how excess PV energy can be routed to loads, batteries, or the grid.
Practical design considerations
- Separate energy capacity, power output, backup duration, and load priority; they are related but not interchangeable.
