WHAT IS A HYBRID INVERTER?

To understand hybrid inverters, it’s first important to understand the inner workings of how solar energy gets from the sun into your home.

When light shines on a solar panel, it creates DC (direct current) electricity. Though important, DC electricity is not very useful when it comes to powering your home as it isn’t utilized to run most household appliances like refrigerators, lamps, or washing machines.

This is where inverters come in – they take the DC electricity created by solar panels and ‘invert’ it into usable AC (alternating current) electricity.Inverters are an essential component of any solar PV system.

A hybrid inverter, on the other hand, is akin to a standard inverter with an added benefit: It can also work with an AC source – for example, the grid power coming into your home from the utility company. This gives you more flexibility in how you use your solar PV system, as you can now choose to either use the grid or your solar panels as your main power source, or run your home completely off of solar power.
