HYBRID

HYBRID solar system Similar to a traditional solar panel system that is connected to the grid, a hybrid solar panel still uses photovoltaic (PV) materials to collect and convert sunlight into energy. In a traditional system, that electricity is routed to the grid, which allows the homeowner to go without a battery while still being able to access electricity during overcast days or the night.
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.
If you’re wondering whether a hybrid solar system is right for your needs, there are some strong selling points that are good to keep in mind.

A hybrid solar system allows you to get the most energy possible out of your solar panels. By routing the energy generated through a hybrid inverter and into your own battery before kicking back the excess to the grid, you can feel confident that you are utilizing clean, renewable energy as much as possible. In contrast, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, most of the United States’ electricity is generated from natural gas, nuclear energy and coal.
