There are remarkable benefits in having a Hybrid inverter, because Hybrid inverters are specifically designed to couple solar power systems with battery storage. Whilst there are benefits in having AC Coupled Storage and benefits in having DC Coupled Storage, with a Hybrid inverter, you get the benefits of both! A key benefit is that you can store power in the battery before it’s converted from DC to AC, eliminating unnecessary further conversions. As it is also AC coupled, you can still incorporate features such as battery back-up and the storing of power during cheaper non-peak periods. All the monitoring is also conducted by a centralised unit, so you don’t have to worry about separate monitoring packages for both your storage and solar power systems. We are now seeing more and more of these units as they’re a great fit for residents looking to incorporate solar and storage together into one complete, powerful package.
Benefits of Hybrid Inverters:
- Store power in the battery before it’s converted from DC to AC, eliminating unnecessary further conversions.
- Many have optional back-up power feature via an ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch) to provide power in case of a grid electricity outage.
- Storing power during cheaper non-peak periods.
