I have plans to build a new solar system with hybrid inverter to be used in a new house being built, but prior to the house being built I have no place to safely install solar panels.
I live in a location that experiences regular power cuts and am thinking of buying the batteries and inverter for the solar system now to use as an online UPS, then once the new house is complete, add the solar panels.
In the initial setup my plan is to simply hook inverter to grid and batteries, charge batteries from grid, run load off the batteries, I assume there is no problem with this, as long as the chosen inverter manages charging effectively?
A little concerned this is not the normal setup and might result in large power bills, my guess is some inverters will have settings that allow this, perhaps switching charging batteries from grid on and off depending on battery levels?
