Hybrid Solar System is grid-tied with battery storage. They come with a special 'smart' inverter that can transmit direct current (DC) power to and from your batteries, and channel alternating current (AC) power between the grid and your home when necessary.
Main features of a Hybrid Solar system
- You will use less grid electricity than you would with a traditional grid-tied system. While hybrid setups are grid-tied, they come with solar battery storage, which means you can maximize consumption of the power generated from the panels.
- A hybrid system is possibly the most expandable, future-ready home solar setup. With some customizable hybrid systems, you can expand capacity by buying more panels or batteries. Hybrid systems may also be compatible with newer solar technologies, Ex: an electric vehicle (EV) might function as one of the ‘batteries’ in a hybrid setup.
- For even lower costs, you can use a power management system. These technologies can automatically optimize your power usage. (For example, larger appliances like dishwashers can be switched on during peak daylight hours.) The result: bigger utility savings and a quicker ROI
