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.
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.
We offer a variety of hybrid solar systems for sale. Don’t hesitate to contact us: our managers will be glad to answer any questions about prices, warranties and shipping options.
