Hybrid Systems

Hybrid Solar Power Systems are becoming more popular in the domestic market around the world. What are they and what are the advantages? The term ‘Hybrid’ means a combination of solar and energy storage which is also connected to the grid.

Hybrid systems generate power in the same way as a common grid solar system but use special hybrid inverters and batteries to store energy for later use. This ability to store energy enables most hybrid systems to also operate as a back-up power supply in the same way as a UPS system.

Hybrid allows you to store excess power when grid power is off- peak. You can use stored solar power during evening times. This is called ‘load shifting’. The system provides back-up power when required. It can reduce power consumption from the grid. It provides advanced energy management known as ‘peak shaving’. It is less expensive than an Off-Grid system. The system can be programmed to accept solar power when grid power is at peak expense. Solar My World provides a range of Deye Hybrid Inverters that are useful for both the domestic and marine environments. In addition to providing inverters, whole systems can be purchased, and our staff can advise on the best set-up for your own personal needs.
