The standby charge is an annual fee charged by the utility for providing backup grid power for a grid-connected power system. HOMER does not apply this fee to grid-only systems, but rather to grid-connected systems that include some other generation source (like a microturbine, a fuel cell, or a PV array). For such systems, the standby charge is added to the grid costs.
