What is a hybrid inverter?

Hybrid Inverters are essentially two inverters in one; they combine a solar inverter and a battery inverter into one simple unit. These advanced inverters use solar energy to power your home, charge a battery or send excess energy into the electricity grid. Most hybrid inverters can also provide emergency backup power during a blackout. Hybrid inverters for residential use are available from 3kW up to 15kW in single or 3-phase varieties with various intelligent control features.

Hybrid System Operating Modes Explained

Hybrid inverters, sometimes called multi-mode inverters, can operate in different modes depending on household power consumption and backup power requirements. Like regular string solar inverters, hybrid inverters convert solar DC power from strings of solar panels to AC (alternating current) power used to power your home.

Household loads first, grid export last.

Most hybrid inverters’ default operating mode, or power flow direction, is from the solar panels directly to the household loads via the inverter. If the solar array generates more power than is being used, excess solar energy is diverted to charge the battery. Once the battery is full and if the loads are lower than the solar output, excess power is exported to the electricity grid. The reason for this order is very logical: to reduce grid electricity consumption and associated costs. However, most hybrid inverter software settings allow some flexibility in this power delivery and can also be adjusted to limit the export power to the electricity grid, which is a requirement by some grid operators. Battery time-of-use (TOU) settings are also available with some inverters to allow charge and discharge schedules to be pre-programmed so the battery use can be optimised to maximise savings.

DEYE INVERTER

Introducing the Deye Inverter. This is suitable for residential and low scale commercial use, to maximise your solar system’s consumption rate and independent on solar energy. Your new Deye inverter will effectively change DC generated by your panels into AC for immediate use.

The excess power will be stored in your battery for later use, i.e., when the sun is down. If you are living off-gird, the battery can also be charged with a diesel generator to ensure uninterrupted power supply.

Features

  • DC and AC couple to retrofit existing solar system
  • Support storing energy from diesel generator
  • Colourful touch LCD
  • 6 time period for battery charging/discharging
  • Max. charging/discharging current of 120A
