Critical Load Backup
Keep the fridge, the lights, and the outlets that matter on. Backup sized for the essentials.
What this kit is for.
Covers what counts
Backs up a chosen set of circuits, the fridge, some lights, the outlets you need, so the essentials stay on.
Costs less than whole-home
A smaller battery and a critical-loads panel keep the price down while still keeping you covered.
Room to grow
Start with the essentials. Step up to whole-home backup later with the same core gear.
Every part, matched and tested.
Solar panels
An array sized to keep the backed-up circuits charged through the day.
Hybrid inverter
Turns sun into usable power and manages the battery in one box.
LiFePO4 battery
Storage sized for the essential loads, enough to ride out an outage.
Critical loads subpanel
A small panel that gathers the circuits you want kept alive.
Mounting & racking
Roof or ground hardware to hold the panels solid through a storm.
Cables, connectors & guide
Every wire and connector, plus the Ape Solar step-by-step install guide.
