A hybrid inverter is a mix between an on-grid and off-grid inverter, giving you the advantages offered by both systems. The hybrid inverter synchronizes with the grid using solar power to supply your power needs during the day. Whereas the
inverter will use battery power to supply the load during the evening.
One downfall of the normal hybrid compared to the Smart hybrid is that it cannot supplement power. Meaning that if the inverter rating / power available is lower than the power required, the complete load will be supplied by the grid.
Smart Hybrid system is a mix between an on-grid and off-grid inverter, giving you the advantages of using solar power when available and grid power when the solar energy is not sufficient. The smart hybrid system synchronizes with the grid
using solar power to supply your power needs during the day. While, during the evening or load shedding the inverter will use battery power to supply the load.
Unlike the Hybrid inverter, the smart hybrid continuously measures the load being drawn, the solar power available, the battery power available and uses all this data to work out the most efficient MIX of power. This mix can be adjusted
according to your specific needs.
A modular solution is a system that consists of multiple separate components all connected together. The major benefit with modular solutions is their scalability. Due to the nature of the system, it is very customisable and also easy to
expand the system should you need to. We generally use modular solutions for bigger projects.
An integrated solar solution means everything is built into the inverter. This means battery monitoring systems, solar controllers and chargers, and system monitors. The major benefit of an integrated inverter is that it’s all in one box. Further, integrated inverters are generally less expensive than modular setups, and take up less space.
Storage system is just a fancy way to say battery bank, where power can be stored for usage when there is no solar power available or during load shedding. The two most used technologies are: Lithium-Ion, and Lead Acid. As with everything,
they each have their applications and pros/cons.
Solar panels are used to convert the sun’s energy into usable electricity. Because of their unparalleled quality and local support, we most prefer to use Canadian Solar Panels. Founded in 2001, Canadian Solar has been supplying reliable
products to the industry for 19 years. To date they have supplied over 38 GigaWatts worth of solar panels to homes and businesses worldwide.
