Hybrid Solar Systems
Combine bill savings with the peace of mind of battery backup.
What is a Hybrid System?
A hybrid solar system gives you the best of both worlds: it's capable of operating on-grid and off-grid. Under normal conditions, it's connected to your utility grid so you can use both power sources simultaneously. But a hybrid PV system can also operate independently, providing power during blackouts.

How It Works
During the day, your solar panels power your home. Any extra energy is used to charge your batteries. Once the batteries are full, you can still export surplus power to the grid for net-metering credits. When the sun goes down, you draw power from your stored battery energy. If a blackout occurs, your system automatically disconnects from the grid and powers your home from the battery.
The primary advantage of a hybrid system is energy resilience. When the grid goes down, your lights and essential devices stay on, powered by the sun. This is ideal for areas with frequent brownouts.
By storing your own solar energy, you can use it in the evening instead of buying it from the grid. This increases your energy independence and can lead to even greater long-term savings, especially as utility rates rise.
Is It Right For You?
A hybrid system is the perfect choice if you want both significant bill savings and protection from power outages. It's ideal for homeowners and businesses that need uninterrupted power for critical loads, such as refrigerators, medical equipment, or home offices.
