What is a Hybrid Inverter?
A hybrid solar inverter is a combination of a solar inverter and a battery inverter into a single device that intelligently manages power from your solar panels, solar batteries, and the utility grid all at the same time.
A traditional solar grid-tie inverter converts the direct current generated by a photovoltaic (PV) system to alternating current to power your house, which also allows excess generation to be diverted onto the utility grid.
A battery inverter handles the process of inverting the DC power stored in a solar battery into AC power for home use.
By combining these functions into a single device, solar hybrid grid-tie inverters simplify and improve the operation of conventional solar inverters. Even better, since available solar power can depend on weather and seasonality, a hybrid inverter can draw power from the grid to recharge your battery storage system if needed.
