What Is a Hybrid Solar Power Inverter

Hybrid inverters are a relatively new technology in the solar energy sector. Hybrid solar Power inverters are designed to combine the advantages of conventional inverters with the flexibility of battery inverters. This makes them an excellent choice for homeowners looking to install a solar system that includes a home energy storage system.

Design of Hybrid Solar Power Inverters

Anern Hybrid Solar Power Inverter integrates the functions of a solar inverter and a battery storage inverter into a single device. Therefore, it can manage the solar panel array, solar battery storage, and the electricity generated by the grid.

In a traditional solar inverter, the direct current (DC) from the solar panels is converted to alternating current (AC) to supply power to your home, and it can also send excess energy directly to the grid. If a battery storage system is installed, a battery inverter is needed to convert the DC from the battery to AC for home use. The Anern Hybrid Solar Power Inverter combines the functions of both inverters. Additionally, when sunlight is insufficient, the hybrid solar power inverter inluding the smart hybrid solar power can charge the battery storage system from the grid, thereby ensuring constant power supply for your home.

Main Functions of the Hybrid Solar Power Inverter

Grid Feed-In

The Anern Hybrid Solar Power Inverter can send electricity to the grid when the solar panels generate excess power. For grid-tied solar systems, it is a way to store excess energy in the grid. Depending on the utility provider, system owners may receive compensation, either in the form of direct payments or credits to offset their bills.

Battery Storage Charging

Hybrid Solar Power Inverters can also channel excess solar energy into battery storage units. When grid electricity prices are high, this ensures the use of cheap solar power in the future. Additionally, even during nighttime power outages, it can guarantee continuous power supply to the home.

Solar Load Consumption

In some cases, the battery storage space is already full, but the solar panels are still generating power. In this situation, the Hybrid Solar Power Inverter can directly channel the electricity generated by the solar panel array into the home. This minimizes the use of grid electricity, potentially saving a significant amount on utility bills.

Power Limitation

The Anern Hybrid Solar Power Inverter has a power limitation function. It can reduce the output of the solar panel array to prevent overloading the battery system or grid. This is usually a last resort, used as a safety measure to ensure grid stability.
