Hybrid Solar Systems
Flexibility and Efficiency Combined – Hybrid Solar Systems
A hybrid solar system is a mix of both grid-tied and off-grid setups.
It provides power from solar panels, stores extra energy in a battery for backup during power cuts,
and also stays connected to the electricity grid.
This ensures continuous power supply, lower bills, and maximum flexibility.
What does it include?
- ☀️ Solar panels – make electricity from sunlight
- 🔌 Hybrid inverter – smart inverter that works with both grid and battery
- 🔋 Battery – stores power for use during power cuts
- ⚡ Grid connection – for extra or backup electricity
How does it work?
- Daytime (good sunlight): Solar panels power your home. Extra power charges the battery, and if still extra, it goes to the electricity grid (with net metering).
- Night or power cut: Battery powers your home. If the battery is empty, power comes from the grid.
Key Benefits:
- ✅ Works during power cuts (battery backup)
- ✅ Reduces electricity bill (solar + grid)
- ✅ Uses solar, battery, and grid – complete flexibility
- ✅ Best for cities with frequent power cuts
Limitations:
- ❌ More expensive than grid-tied (due to battery)
- ❌ Battery needs maintenance and replacement after a few years
- ❌ Slightly more complex system
