Household Hybrid PV Inverter

What is a hybrid solar inverter?

A standard solar inverter only converts DC power from solar panels into AC power for household use, while a hybrid inverter does this and enables energy storage in a battery. This means that the excess solar energy can be stored for later use with a hybrid inverter instead of feeding it back into the grid.

Why are hybrid solar inverters more reliable?

More power options in hybrid solar inverters makes them more reliable. Hybrid solar inverters, unlike normal inverters, offer significant savings through solar energy utilization. Since hybrid inverters integrate with solar, they help in clean energy generation that reduces carbon footprint.

How much does a hybrid solar inverter cost?

Normal inverters can only convert solar DC power to AC for immediate use or grid export, while hybrid solar inverters provide energy management, including storage and backup capabilities. ~Rs. 81,000* for a 3 kW hybrid solar inverter to ~Rs. 93,000* for a 5 kW hybrid inverter. The higher the capacity of the inverter, the more expensive it is.

How do hybrid inverters operate?

Hybrid inverters primarily operate by directly powering household loads from solar panels. If the solar array generates more power than is being used, the excess solar energy is diverted to charge the battery. This is the default operating mode or power flow direction for most hybrid inverters.
