What is a Hybrid Solar Rooftop System?
A hybrid solar system is a combination of best features of both on-grid and off-grid solar systems. Consequently, if an excess amount of solar energy is captured during the day time, it is stored in batteries to be used in the absence of Sunshine. Simultaneously, it is also connected to the Grid for the uninterrupted power supply. Hence, Hybrid Solar Rooftop System is a popular choice amongst consumers as it provides double benefits viz. Energy Independence and Connectivity with the Grid under one roof.
How Does it work?
The Solar Panels convert the collected solar energy into electricity which is utilized by home appliances. In case there is production of energy in excess, it is stored in batteries for later use when there is a lack of solar energy. However, if the battery is also depleted and solar energy is unavailable then, the Hybrid Solar System connects with the grid for meeting its power requirements. Moreover, there is a critical part of this process that makes switching between Solar Panels, Grid and Batteries seamless and i.e. Inverter. An inverter converts the Solar Panel generated DC power into AC power which is usable by a home or commercial buildings. It also ensures efficient usage and management of energy flow between panels, grid and batteries.
Advantages of a Hybrid Solar Rooftop System
Perfect Solar Solutions is one of the leading Solar companies in UP, India which can provide you with Hybrid Solar Rooftop System service with following advantages:
Components of an Off-Grid Solar Rooftop System
Solar Panels
One of the primary parts of the On-Grid Solar System is the Solar Panel. Their main function is to collect solar energy and convert it into electrical energy. They constitute more than 50% of the cost of a solar system.
Solar Inverters
The primary function of a Solar Inverter is to convert DC output collected from the Solar Panel into AC supply.
Batteries
A battery is a key element of an Off-Grid Solar System since it holds the extra amount of electricity generated by the solar panels in the daytime. This helps in generating electricity during the nighttime, when the solar panels are not functional.
Grid Connection
A grid connection ensures that the system can draw power from the grid as per the requirement. It can also send back the excess energy to the grid, thus, earning credits.
Charge Controller
It is a device that takes care of the batteries’ charging and discharging in an efficient manner. The main function of the Charge Controller is to control the flow of electricity between the Solar Panels, Grid and Batteries.
