The most obvious and primary benefit of a Hybrid Solar Inverter is that it does what the other Two inverters do combined. But let us look deeper at why choosing a hybrid solar inverter with your solar installation might be a very good idea for you.
This is the obvious benefit mentioned above. By using a hybrid solar inverter, you are getting one inverter that does the function of two.
Sometimes, if you have a standard (normal, string) solar panel system in place, and you want to add battery storage to it- you’d need a second piece of equipment as an add-on. Your choices are either to buy a battery inverter that would work alongside your regular inverter or get a hybrid inverter that would replace the standard inverter.
Nowadays, the presence of technology has contributed to the convenience of solar tech in many ways. One of these is through the real-time monitoring of your inverter to check how much solar you’ve been generating and using through the use of apps and monitoring systems.
But, all these apps are connected to the inverter, which is where all your electricity is processed.
If you have a battery inverter for storage and a standard inverter for generation and usage, it’s hard to monitor the amount because you’re using two different systems.
With a hybrid solar inverter, this hassle becomes non-existent because everything happens on a central device and this makes energy monitoring easier.
The present cost of battery storage solutions is one of the reasons people are not too keen on getting them. However, like with all technology, the cost is bound to come down with time, leading to an increase in demand.
If you buy a solar system today and intend to get battery storage a decade later, it makes more sense to invest in a hybrid solar inverter now. Adding a new inverter to an existing system can cost more in labour because of the extra wiring and complexity involved.
With these reasons in mind, you can make an informed choice about whether hybrid solar inverters are useful to you.
