A hybrid system blends solar, battery and grid so you always have the cheapest available power — and never a gap. Here's how the pieces work together.
The four parts
- Panels — turn sunlight into DC electricity.
- Inverter — converts it to the AC your appliances use, and manages the flow.
- Battery — stores surplus energy for night and outages.
- Grid (optional) — one more input the inverter can draw on or top up from.
How power flows
By day, panels run your loads and charge the battery, and any surplus is stored. At night or during an outage, the battery takes over seamlessly. If needed, the grid or a generator can supplement — the inverter decides automatically.
Why hybrid
You get solar savings, battery backup and grid reliability in one system, with no manual switching and no gap when the grid drops.
