A PV system with an inverter/charger and generator.

Many larger off-grid inverters - called inverter/chargers - are able to accept AC input from a generator and convert it to DC to be able to charge the battery bank if weather conditions are poor. This can be a wise investment for larger systems as the size of the PV source and energy storage system do not need to be as large to be able to meet demand during infrequent periods of bad weather. Additionally, an inverter can play an important role as a system with a bypass switch will permit the generator to directly power AC loads if the PV system is not functioning properly or needs to be disconnected for maintenance. An inverter/charger will have to be chosen in accordance with the size/type of generator that will be used.
