What is the Hybrid Solar System?

A hybrid solar power system stays connected to the grid and has a battery backup at the same time. The battery stores excess power first and then exports it to the grid. So, the hybrid has the capabilities of both on-grid and off-grid solar systems.

The solar panels of a hybrid solar system absorb the sunlight and convert it to DC electricity. First of all, this energy is stored in solar batteries which you can use later.

If the solar battery is 100% charged, the solar inverter will start transferring the excess power to the electricity grids.

A net meter will calculate this bidirectional transaction and your final electricity bill will be reduced based on the electricity export.

What are the Components of a Hybrid Solar System?

These are the components that build a complete hybrid solar power system:

Solar Panels

Solar panels or photovoltaic (PV) modules convert the sunlight into DC electricity. This is the most important component of a hybrid solar PV system.

There are different types of solar panels available in the market. Their price varies based on the technology and efficiency. The main types are Mono PERC, Mono PERC Bifacial, TOPCon (n-type & p-type), and HJT solar panels.

Hybrid Inverter

A hybrid solar inverter is the heart of a hybrid solar panel system. This inverter converts DC to AC electricity is based on the situation.

First, it stores the energy in the batteries and sends the excess power to the grids (after DC > AC conversion). If there is a power cut, it transfers the stored energy to the house to run appliances.

AC Distribution Box/ACDB Box

The AC distribution box is installed between the solar inverter and the appliances. There are two main components of AC DB – one is SPD or Surge Protection Device and the other one is MCB or Miniature Circuit Breaker. SPD protects the system from power surges by earthing the voltage and MCB breaks the circuit if the voltage is high.

For 1 KW – 6 KW hybrid solar power systems, you have to use a single-phase ACDB box. It has a live wire and a neutral wire.

You will need a three-phase junction for a solar system with more than 6 KW capacity. It contains 3 live wires and 1 neutral wire.

DC Distribution Box/DCDB Box

This box protects the solar panels and hybrid solar inverter from high voltage or short circuits. This box has an SPD that protects the hybrid solar PV system from power surges.

A fuse also breaks in case the voltage is high to stop the current flow. You need to install either a single-phase or three-phase DC DB box, as per the type of AC DB box.

Net Meter

Similar to on-grid solar systems, a hybrid solar system also requires a net meter. It is a bidirectional meter that measures electricity imported from the grid and exported to the grid.

Charge Controller

The charge controller helps to control the charging of the solar batteries. It regulates the voltage and ampere that the inverter passes to batteries. Two types of charge controllers are most common among solar power users: MPPT and PWM.

Solar Batteries

The battery ensures that you have a constant power supply to your house, even during power cuts. You can consult with our energy advisors to know how much battery capacity you will require according to your power requirement.

Racks and Mounts

The mounting structure holds the solar panels at your installation location. It also helps to set the correct tilt angle based on the sunlight’s angle.

How Does a Hybrid Solar Power System Work?

Here is a step-by-step guide to how a hybrid solar system works:

Step 1: Solar Energy Absorption

During the daytime, the solar panel absorbs the energy of the sunlight. The solar panels transform this energy into direct electricity (DC).

Step 2: Energy Conversion from DC to AC

After this, DC travels through wires and enters the solar inverter. Here DC electricity is converted into AC so that it runs home appliances.

Step 3: Solar Energy Channelling

First, the electricity generated through the hybrid solar system charges the batteries. After the battery is charged fully, the solar inverter passes the excess energy to the power grid.

Step 4: Energy Import/Export

At night and during power cuts, the hybrid solar power system supplies power from the solar batteries. If the stored electricity in the batteries is over, your system can import electricity from the utility grid.

Step 5: Net Meter Reading

The net meter of your hybrid solar system calculates the amount of power you import and export in a month. You DISCOM will provide you with an electricity bill for the difference between electricity consumed and exported.

Hybrid Solar Net Metering Process

As a hybrid solar power panel system sends the excess energy to the power grids, the net metering installation is mandatory to enjoy electricity bill savings.

Your DISCOM will install a net meter that can calculate both sides transaction of electricity. To get it, you have to submit an application and an installation charge to them. The fee can be around Rs. 8,000 – Rs. 15,000.

After that, your DISCOM will calculate your final electric bill after reducing the value of energy exported to their grids.

Drawbacks of a Hybrid Solar System

A hybrid solar power plant can eliminate the disadvantages of on-grid solar system with power backup/solar batteries but there are some disadvantages.

The investment for hybrid solar is generally high as it includes both the solar batteries and net meter. If you want to get power backup for more time, your investment cost will also increase.

Additionally, the design is complex as it has solar inverter, battery, net meter, grid connection, etc. And the maintenance cost is higher. Also the solar batteries may have to be replaced at least 2 – 3 times during your hybrid solar system’s 25 year’s lifespan.

However, the advantages of hybrid solar PV module system can easily outperform the disadvantages.
