A Hybrid Solar System combines the advantages of both on-grid and off-grid solar systems. It is connected to the utility grid while also incorporating a battery backup to store excess solar energy for use during the night, cloudy weather, or power outages. This ensures a reliable and uninterrupted power supply while maximizing the use of renewable energy.
Solar panels generate electricity that first powers your home or business. Any excess energy is stored in the battery bank for later use. Once the batteries are fully charged, the remaining surplus electricity is exported to the utility grid through net metering. During the night or when grid power is unavailable, the stored battery energy supplies the load. If both solar generation and battery power are insufficient, electricity is automatically drawn from the utility grid.
A typical Hybrid Solar System consists of the following key components:
