Hybrid solar inverter – lower power (up to 6kW)
Hybrid inverters are a great option for the average home that wants to be more self-sufficient in powering itself with solar systems and batteries, but doesn't intend to disconnect from the grid.
Principle of operation
The hybrid inverter acts as an intelligent management system that transmits the electricity generated by the solar module by absorbing solar energy to the grid. At the same time, it can also be used as a charger for the battery, which can be used with the battery to store the electricity generated, forming an efficient energy management system. At the same time, in winter or rainy days when there is not enough light, the hybrid inverter can take electricity from the grid for customers to use, avoiding interruptions in the electricity supply. All in all, hybrid inverters have three main functions: energy conversion, battery charger, and sending power to/from the grid. In comparison, the hybrid inverter is the most versatile compared to the simple on-grid and off-grid inverters.
Is a hybrid inverter right for you?
The primary consideration in choosing a hybrid inverter is that it has a larger initial investment compared to other inverters. However, if you need to connect to the grid and also intend to add some energy storage system to store some power for later use to avoid power supply shortage, which coincides with your needs, the hybrid inverter is perfect for you, then these extra investments are very necessary.
Can a hybrid inverter be taken off the grid?
In general, hybrid inverters are not an option for going off-grid. However, if you need to do so, hybrid inverters are available in off-grid mode and you only need to prepare a storage system with sufficient capacity to be completely off-grid. If you still need grid-connected functionality, the hybrid inverter is still suitable for you. However, if you only need to use the off-grid mode, an off-grid inverter is a better choice.
