With a properly sized and connected battery bank, in this scenario, the inverter manages the energy generated by the solar panels and stores it in the batteries, ensuring that backup loads are powered exclusively from these sources. Thus, when activated, the inverter ceases to depend on the electrical grid, and if solar generation is insufficient, the batteries are used as a secondary energy source. When consumption is lower than production, the surplus is used to recharge the batteries, always respecting the charging management parameters defined by the system. This capability makes island mode a reliable solution for environments with poor grid quality or no electrical infrastructure, ensuring optimal energy resilience in decentralized residential, commercial, and industrial applications.

In Salicru's Equinox2 HSX, HT, and HT+ inverters, OFF-GRID mode guarantees coverage of up to 110% of the equipment's nominal power, a capacity designed to absorb temporary consumption peaks without compromising system stability. Salicru photovoltaic inverters have other operating modes that optimize performance according to the type of installation: the general mode, which prioritizes self-consumption and charging batteries with solar surpluses; the UPS mode, which guarantees fast battery charging to deal with possible power outages; and advanced functions under development such as PeakLoad, aimed at managing peak consumption.
