What is an Inverter?

Inverters are electronic devices that convert direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC).  It's essential for using DC power sources, like car batteries or solar panels, to run standard AC appliances and electronics that are incompatible with DC power. For example, a solar panel produces DC power, but your home uses AC power, so the inverter converts the panel's DC into usable AC energy.

Comparison between Hybrid and Traditional Solar Inverters

Traditional solar inverters can only convert DC to AC and feed power straight into the home or electrical grid. Since these inverters cannot store excess power, any surplus electricity generated during peak solar hours is returned to the grid, generally at a reduced compensated rate. On the other hand, hybrid inverters enable more efficient energy consumption by storing excess power in batteries, making any excess power available during power outages.

Battery Energy Storage

Batteries store DC power, which is produced by solar panels. Inverters convert this DC power to AC for home or business use and can charge batteries by directing excess energy to storage rather than immediate use. In the event of a grid outage or poor weather conditions, inverters switch to battery power automatically. If sunlight is insufficient and battery power is low, the hybrid inverter can pull AC power from the grid to charge the DC batteries.
