HYBRID SOLAR SOLUTION
A hybrid solar system contains solar panels, a solar hybrid inverter, and battery storage to create an uninterrupted energy solution. The functionality of this system starts from a solar hybrid panel that helps to capture the sunlight and then convert it into DC (direct current) electricity. The DC electricity from the solar hybrid panel is converted into AC (Alternating Current) with the help of a solar hybrid inverter. The solar hybrid inverter is connected with the net meter as well as with batteries or a diesel engine. Then the excess solar energy produced during the day is stored in a battery for use at night or on cloudy days for a continuous electricity supply. These systems combine the best features of grid-tied and off-grid solar systems, ensuring continuous solar power operation. When solar and battery energy are insufficient, then Grid Connection draws power from the grid and also exports excess energy to the grid. This way, hybrid solar systems give you double the benefit, i.e., reduction of electricity bill and 24-hour power connectivity.
