How Does a Hybrid Solar System Work and Is It Right for You on the Sunshine Coast?
A hybrid solar system describes a set up where your solar panels remain connected to the grid while also having a solar battery to store excess power. At Logic Solar, we can provide a hybrid solar system Sunshine Coast homes and small businesses can depend on to maximise the benefit of having solar energy. Below, we look at what a hybrid grid solar system is and its benefits.
Off Grid vs On Grid Solar System
Most people interested in getting a solar power system are looking to reduce power bills and find a more sustainable, self-reliant source of energy rather than relying on the grid. Running a completely off-grid system is certainly possible with large enough solar panels and adequate battery storage. It is quite costly to install upfront, however.
An on grid solar system offers the best of both worlds. By remaining connected to the grid, you can count on it for backup power in the event that your solar battery runs out. You can also sell extra electricity you generate back to utility companies through feed-in tariffs.
How It Works
A hybrid grid solar system works by sending DC energy captured by your solar panels to the system’s inverter. It’s then converted to AC energy and sent to power your home. Any additional energy that is not immediately used to power appliances at home goes to your solar battery for storage.
The solar battery can provide power to your home when your solar panels don’t produce energy. For example, at night and on cloudy or rainy days. If there is still leftover energy remaining following all of those steps, that energy is sent to the grid in exchange for a credit. With this hybrid set up, you can enjoy secure, reliable power while maximising savings on your energy bills.
