A hybrid solar system has the good features of both on-grid and off-grid solar systems, minus their flaws. The hybrid solar system is connected to the grid via net metering and also has a battery backup to store the power. The energy that solar panels collect goes through a hybrid solar inverter to generate electricity.

The most important benefit of a hybrid solar system is the power backup facility. It means you can continue using electricity without disruptions even during power outages. A battery backup helps store the extra power generated by the solar system during peak hours.

The hybrid solar system has four elements:

• Solar Panel

Solar panels are used to convert solar energy into DC electricity. The solar panel is an essential component of the solar system.

• Hybrid Inverter

It is the second important component in a solar system. The hybrid inverter regulates the voltage and converts DC to AC voltage which can be later used to power household appliances.

• DCDB

The direct current delivery box has a fuse, SPD, and MCB for security. The DCDB connects multiple solar panel wires into a string with positive and negative outputs.

• Charging Controller

The charging controller enhances the battery life by controlling the quantity of power going inside the battery.
