OutBack Power Systems offers the SMARTRE 3000 Grid Interactive Solution. This solution enables an easy-to-use grid tie solar connectivity with backup power for use at home and at small commercial establishments. This solution though operates similar to that of grid connected solar inverters but includes an additional battery backup feature to continuously offer power during grid outages.

The AC backup switch installed in the SMARTRE 3000 switches to battery connectivity without the trace of utility failure and facilitates even sensitive computer data backup to work unaffected. The OutBack multi-stage charging process included in the solution offers reliable backup power and extends life of the AGM batteries up to 10 years. The SMARTRE 3000 from OutBack Power Systems is available in power levels up to 3 kW and extends up to 69 kWh backup powers during power failures.
