Brighter Energy Solutions

If you're planning a new solar PV installation, a hybrid solar battery storage system is a smart and future-ready choice.

 

Hybrid inverters allow you to store excess solar energy generated during the day and use it at night, helping you increase self-consumption and reduce your reliance on the grid. These inverters convert the direct current (DC) electricity produced by your panels into alternating current (AC) for use in your home, while also keeping your battery system charged efficiently.

 

Because hybrid systems are DC-coupled, they require fewer energy conversions, which means less energy is lost and overall efficiency is improved. With fewer components than traditional setups, hybrid systems are also more reliable and cost-effective in the long term. They are especially recommended when installing a brand-new solar system or when replacing an existing inverter, offering a streamlined and efficient solution for both scenarios. A hybrid setup gives you the best of both worlds, greater energy independence and long-term savings.

FAQ

What is a hybrid solar system?

A hybrid solar system combines solar panels with battery storage and a hybrid inverter. It allows you to use solar power during the day, store excess

energy in batteries,and use that stored power at night or during power outages. You can still draw energy from the grid when needed, giving you flexibility

and reliability.

How is a hybrid system different from a standard solar system?

Traditional solar systems send excess energy back to the grid, while hybrid systems store it in batteries for your own use. This reduces your reliance

on the grid, increases your self-consumption, and helps you save more on energy bills.

Is a hybrid system more expensive than a standard solar setup?

Hybrid systems a do have a higher upfront cost because of the added battery and advanced inverter. However, the long-term savings and increased

energy independence often make it a worthwhile investment, especially with rising electricity prices.

How long does a hybrid system last?

Solar panels typically last 25+ years, while hybrid inverters and batteries usually last between 10-15 years. We only install quality components backed by

reliable warranties to give you long-term peace of mind.

Can I use a hybrid system during a power cut?

Yes, many hybrid systems offer backup power during outages. Depending on the system design, it can power essential appliances like fridges, lighting,

and even sockets during a blackout.
