GridGap For Homeowners

Start with the rooms and appliances you actually want to keep running. GridGap then helps turn that list into an early view of battery, inverter, charging, and solar size.

Use it before the supplier conversation

GridGap is useful when you are still deciding what kind of backup system makes sense. It gives you a structured estimate of daily energy use, surge demand, battery capacity, inverter size, charging need, and possible solar support before you start comparing actual equipment.

Compare a small number of real options

Most home projects are clearer when you compare two or three versions. One might cover only essentials such as lights, Wi-Fi, refrigeration, and a few plugs. Another might include more comfort loads. That comparison usually tells you more than trying to build one perfect version on the first pass.

Keep the boundary clear

The result is not a final home electrical design. Household circuits, changeover equipment, protection, local code, and installer decisions still need qualified review. Treat GridGap as a planning tool, not as permission to install a system.
