A hybrid solar system is reliable because it supplies constant electricity. Below are steps that explain how this system works:
- The panels absorb the sun rays during the day, converting them into electricity and storing the excess energy in the batteries. If any extra energy remains after using the required power, the excess amount is sent back to the grid via net metering.
- The batteries are rechargeable. If the power is cut for too long, the batteries can be recharged from the grid.
Solar power systems come in three varieties; on-grid, off-grid, and hybrid. A hybrid solar system has the good features of both on-grid and off-grid solar systems, minus their flaws.
The hybrid solar system is connected to the grid via net metering and also has a battery backup to store the power. The energy that solar panels collect goes through a hybrid solar inverter to generate electricity.
The most important benefit of a hybrid solar system is the power backup facility. It means you can continue using electricity without disruptions even during power outages. A battery backup helps store the extra power generated by the solar system during peak hours.
Bear in mind that:
- A hybrid solar inverter is used more than a standard battery inverter in a battery-ready system.
- The modern hybrid solar inverter comes with a charger and a built-in connection.
- Owing to its benefits, a hybrid solar inverter is naturally more expensive than a standard battery inverter.
