What is Hybrid Solar System ?
Hybrid solar system is alternative to off-grid solar and on-grid solar, which remains tied to the grid but includes a solar battery bank to store excess energy. Hybrid systems can be a happy medium between off-grid systems and grid-tied systems that don’t have solar storage options.
With a hybrid solar system, however, the electricity is routed to a hybrid inverter and battery. Once the battery is full, the excess is channeled through a smart meter to the grid’s power lines. This allows the homeowner to retain a portion of the electricity, which can help power the home not only during overcast days or the night but also if there is an energy blackout.
Why Choose Our Hybrid Solar System
Whether you choose an Eco Solar System Chandigarh hybrid solar system, make sure you consider all of your home’s energy needs beforehand. Cost, energy production, storage, and reliability are all important factors that should all come into play. Save On Energy can help you make the most informed decision on all things solar.
Components of a Hybrid Solar System
A hybrid solar system uses many interacting components, including:
Hybrid inverter
This is a special type of inverter, capable of connecting to both solar panels and battery storage systems.
Battery Bank system
The battery in a hybrid solar system can provide backup power during blackouts. It also allows you to use solar energy at any time, even when your PV modules are not generating power. Your installer may recommend lithium batteries over lead-acid batteries due to their superior efficiency and longer service life.
Energy management system
The energy management system controls the electricity flows between your solar panels, battery backup system, home appliances and local power grid. Energy management software is normally included with hybrid inverters.
High-quality residential solar panels can last for more than 27 years. Solar inverters and battery systems have a typical service life of 10 years.
Is an off-grid or hybrid solar system better?
We recommend a hybrid solar system instead of going fully off-grid. A hybrid system offers a higher return on investment and a shorter payback period since you can participate in net metering programs and claim more solar incentives.
What is the difference between a traditional solar system and a hybrid solar system?
A traditional solar PV system must synchronize with the grid voltage, and it cannot operate when disconnected from the grid. A hybrid solar system is capable of operating under both modes : grid-tied and off-grid.
What are the advantages of hybrid solar energy?
A hybrid solar system can use the grid as a backup at night or on cloudy days. This type of system can also benefit from net metering and other programs exclusively for grid-tied panels. At the same time, a hybrid system can operate independently during blackouts, just like an off-grid system.
What is the price of hybrid solar system?
The price of a hybrid solar system depends upon solar system capacity required and type of batteries used for storage of electrical power. Lithium battery is costly as compare to lead acid batteries but life of lithium battery is more as compare to lead acid batteries and lithium batteries takes less space.
