Among different configurations of PV installations, a hybrid solar system is the most flexible one. While it’s more expensive than a standard grid-tie one, the return on investments that it provides can also be higher. In this section of our website you can find a hybrid solar system for your home or business project. Our engineers have already sized all the components of a kit together to make the switch to solar easier and more convenient for you.
What is a hybrid solar kit
Hybrid systems combine the features of a grid-tie and off-grid configurations. On one hand, your house is connected to the grid and you can sell energy to your utility as you please. On the other hand, you have energy storage as a backup for a possible power outage.
So what does a hybrid solar system kit include? You will need some panels as always, plus a hybrid inverter. Hybrid inverter is different from others in a way that it can function with or without grid connection and it also can be paired with a battery. In addition to panels and inverter, you’ll need a battery bank and a charge controller, though sometimes hybrid inverters have energy storage and a regulator for it.
Hybrid solar system for home is different from a grid-tie one in a way that power outages in the grid aren’t such a big problem. Once the grid goes down, the inverter switches your home to battery support, ensuring an uninterrupted power supply. This is a great option for those who work from home and can’t risk losing the results of their efforts over a 5-minute blackout.
The hybrid solar system cost is generally higher than that of a grid-tie system. Not only do you need a more technologically advanced inverter, energy storage also costs quite a bit. However, going for hybrid configuration gives you much more control over your system. For instance, having energy storage allows you to avoid peak utility rates. As a result, a hybrid system can sometimes pay for itself even quicker than a standard grid-tie system.
Your hybrid solar system price is going to depend heavily on its size. Panels and the model of your inverter also play a big role. Chinese panels are the cheapest. NA-made panels are in the middle of the price range. The most expensive PV modules come from brands like LG, REC, Sunpower, Panasonic: these panels come with the best warranties and show amazing production levels. The price depends on the batteries as well. Lead-acid energy storage is cheaper, but lithium-ion batteries last longer, provide higher efficiency and allow for deeper discharge.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right system size?
Your utility bills contain the energy consumption data for your home. All you need to do is divide the daily figure by the number of peak sun hours in your area. The result will be a gross estimate of a system size needed to offset 100% of your energy needs. Please refer to our article on sizing solar panel systems for more detailed instructions.
How do I know if a system is good for my house?
You can browse through our catalog and pick a system with desired power output and functionality. Our engineer with 20+ years of experience will adapt it based on the information you provide. He will take into account your location, roof pitch, house orientation and other factors. You don’t need to know a single thing about solar – we will support you at every stage.
Which system (grid-tie, off-grid or hybrid) will work for me the best?
It is impossible to give a good recommendation without knowing any details, but we can share the general principles. A grid-tie system is the standard choice: it is the most affordable and lets you take advantage of net metering. You need an off-grid system if the grid is unavailable or full independence is desired. A hybrid system is a mix of the two, performing equally well with and without a grid connection. You can find a more nuanced take on the difference among the three types in our article.
Does a solar system include all that is needed for installation?
Yes, our systems include absolutely all components. You won’t need to buy any extra parts to install it and start generating power.
Will you install the solar panel system for me?
Currently we do not provide installation services. You will need to contact an independent solar installer.
Do you offer a warranty for your solar panel systems?
All components of our systems come with a manufacturer’s warranty. We also stand behind the work of our engineers who configure the systems and guarantee full compatibility.
How can I get my system?
We work with the top freight carriers like XPO, FedEx, ODFL, R&L, etc. We also offer a free pickup option so that our clients could get the equipment cheaper and faster. Note that pickup is dependent on the availability of equipment in our fulfillment centers, and may not be feasible in your location.
Do deliveries of solar panel systems take longer?
We deliver our systems as fast as the rest of our equipment. Typically it takes 5 to 7 days.
Do you have all the displayed systems in stock?
Yes, we offer full transparency and update the availability of items in real time.
What is the benefit of buying a solar panel system compared to buying all the equipment element by element?
Our systems are configured by an engineer with more than 20 years of experience. We will adapt the kit to your conditions and ensure compatibility.
Does a solar panel system come with a plan or a manual?
The equipment manufacturers normally provide user manuals for their products. These can be accessed via our website or the official websites of the respective manufacturers. Aside from that, we do not provide any other materials, but we're ready to consult you along the way.
