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.

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.

Understand Hybrid Solar Systems By Video

Hybrid system is fully automatic, programmable and custom engineer system. Which provides a smart hybrid combination of all energy sources to you. And its all done in a pre-define sequence.

  • Firstly, Solar panel will run you connected load.
  • Then extra electricity will be stored to the solar battery.
  • And at last, surplus electricity will be fed back to the electricity grid by hybrid solar inverter.

#2. Working of Hybrid Solar System

The array of solar panel in a hybrid solar system is interconnected with the solar inverter, which is further linked to the solar battery and utility grid. The solar panel absorbs the sunlight and converts sunlight into direct current electricity. This electricity then goes to the connected solar inverter that further converts direct current (DC) power to alternating current (AC). This alternating current is the standard electrical current used to power our household appliances and luxuries.

➡️ During the day, if the solar system’s output exceeds the electrical needs of your house, the excess energy is then stored in solar batteries and once the batteries are fully charged, the electricity is automatically exported to the utility grid via “Net-Metering.”

➡️ For night, you will have 2 options in the inverter grid and up to 50% batteries. If you choose govt power/grid, the grid will run your load and in case of power cut, solar batteries will power your home. If you choose the battery for second priority, the battery will be drawn up to 50%. In case, your household consumes more than 50% battery, the extra electricity required to power the house is drawn from the utility grid.

Your home’s power performance will be the same whether the electricity is being drawn from the solar panel, solar battery, or utility grid.

Let’s look at an example to better understand it. Assume your hybrid solar system generates 100 units in one day and you only use 55 units at home; the remaining 45 units will be stored in solar batteries, and if solar batteries are unable to store that much electricity, the excess will be sent to the utility grid via net-metering, resulting in savings on your electricity bills.

#3. What is Net-Metering?

Net metering is a process that analyzes and displays your grid’s exports and imports along with other figures, such as how much power is generated by the solar system, how much we have consumed, etc. While exporting, your electrical meter will spin backwards. And by the end of the month, your electricity bill will be calculated and adjusted using these parameters.

Solar net metering system explained in india

A bi-directional meter is used to perform all of these procedures. The total electrical consumption of a home will be tracked by this tracking meter. You can easily monitor how much of your home’s electricity needs are met by your system’s output and how well your system is performing at any given time.

Expert Advice

A hybrid solar system is an expensive solar system that provides you with luxury as well as uninterrupted power supply for your heavy appliances such as air conditioners, room heaters, washing machines, water pumps, and so on. So, if you want the luxury of uninterrupted power backup as well as the ability to export to the grid, we recommend this system.

Tips 1: If you believe you can’t generate enough extra solar power to export, you should consider an off-grid solar system.

Tips 2: If you want a quick return on investment, go with an on-grid solar system because the ROI is 3 to 5 years, where the same for hybrid solar system is 5 to 7 years.
