Hybrid Solar
When looking for renewable energy sources and considering switching to solar energy, you've probably come across the terms on grid and off grid solar plants. But did you know there is another option available through which you can stay connected to the grid and store the energy by attaching a battery backup system, which will actually provide you with more benefits? This system is known as a hybrid solar system. When you connect your solar panels to the grid, you will have backup power. It will also assist you in earning credits by selling excess electricity to your utility company via net metering. When you install solar panels, the energy they generate is converted to current and used to power your home. You have the option of going on-grid, completely off-grid, or having a hybrid system.
How does a hybrid solar system work?
In a hybrid solar plant, your solar panels remain connected to the grid, and a backup battery is attached to the system to help store excess power. The energy absorbed by the solar panels is converted into electricity by an inverter and used to power the appliances in the house. From there, electricity is either sent to your home for use, to the attached battery, or to the grid. The advantage of a hybrid solar system is that it provides continuous power. Because the solar plant will have a backup battery, any excess energy produced by your solar panels will be stored in this battery and you can use it as per your need. This battery will then provide you with power during the night or on rainy days. Even if you use all of the power stored in the battery, the hybrid solar system allows you to get the energy from the power grid as you are still connected to the grid. When your solar panels are not producing energy, this battery can provide power to your home. If there is still energy left over after all of these steps, it is sent to the grid.
