Solar Hybrid System

1. What Is an Hybrid Solar System?

While choosing a solar system for home, institute, business or industry, people often choose either an on grid solar system or an off grid solar system. But now one more option is available in the market and that is “Hybrid Solar System”. This system is a combination of on grid solar system and off grid solar system. It has battery backup in it to store power and it also have the ability to feed surplus electricity into main grid.

2.How Does an Hybrid Solar System for Home Work?

A hybrid solar system will work day and night which means you always have electricity at your home. Hybrid system is a combination of solar energy storage with grid connection. This system provide the flexibility of being able to store the power into batteries that your solar system generated during the day time instead of feeding it back into electricity grid. The same energy can be used in the evening or night instead of buying from government grid at a higher price.

If system is producing more power than is being consumed and your batteries are fully charged, the surplus will be fed to the main electrical grid via solar net metering. At the time of electricity billing, the government or power provider company will adjust the exported units in your electricity bill.

• 3.Facts About Hybrid Solar Power Systems
• On average, a 1kW hybrid solar system generates 4 units/day.
  • 4 units x 30 days = 120 units/month &,
  • 120 units x 12 months = 1,440 units/year.
• There is 5 years straight warranty for the complete system and 25 years for the solar panel.
• Solar Net Metering also applies to a hybrid solar system.
• MNRE (Ministry of New & Renewable Energy) is providing 20% to 40% subsidy on solar for hybrid solar systems (without batteries) upto 10kW capacity.
