Advantages of hybrid solar inverter

Aerodynamic design

If you’re adding a battery backup system to an existing solar PV system, you’ll need to buy not only the battery pack itself and possibly a new inverter, but also a battery charger controller and maybe a performance monitoring system. These are extra hardware that takes up a lot of space – the cost adds up. Many hybrid inverter systems integrate performance monitoring, charge control, and bidirectional AC DC inverter functionality into a compact package that is more affordable.

Smart Inverter/Charger Function

Hybrid inverters have built-in charge controllers that detect when it is best to supply power to the batteries from the grid (or solar panels). Several models can be programmed to allow load shifting and peak shaving. This means you can use your battery when the cost of grid electricity is highest and charge your battery when the cost of grid electricity is lowest – saving you a lot of money in the process.

Mobile Application Cloud Monitoring

We’re in the digital age, which means we can do a lot of cool things with our phones, not just talk.

Many hybrid inverters have the ability to send your system performance data to a company-branded portal in the cloud. There, you can log into the app to see how your system is performing, and get notified when and if your system isn’t performing as well as it should.

Hybrid inverters also typically have configurable modes that can set your system to vacation or standby mode via an app. These ensure you make the most of the energy your solar panel produces, even when you’re not on site.

DC coupled option

Some hybrid inverters are designed with higher efficiency in mind. Whenever you have to convert AC to DC or back again, you lose some power due to conversion losses. There are many hybrid solar inverters that are DC coupled, meaning they take DC power from the solar panels and feed it directly into the batteries without converting it to AC and back in the process. This ensures you get the most value out of the electricity your solar panels produce in your battery backup system.
