- Explained In 30 Seconds - Hybrid Solar Energy Systems

This article is designed to simplify you're understanding of what a hybrid PV system is and how it works WHAT IS A HYBRID PV SYSTEM? A solar energy system that connects to the grid, has battery backup, and can operate in on grid and off grid mode Major System Components: Solar Modules Hybrid Inverter/Charger (today these are integrated together) Batteries Mounting System Wiring - PV and Battery Safety Disconnects ON GRID vs HYBRID Advantages On Grid Cheapest system cost Most simplified system Can sell power to the grid Hybrid Works on and off grid Can sell power to grid 24/7 power supply ON GRID vs HYBRID Disadvantages On Grid PV can't operate without grid Less overall power control Hybrid More expensive then on grid More components to maintain HOW DOES A HYBRID PV SYSTEM WORK? Solar Panels convert energy from sunshine into DC electricity Solar electricity is transmitted to either The house loads Battery bank Back to the grid If the grid shuts off the hybrid inverter becomes isolated from the grid and operates in off grid The battery can send power to the grid or the loads BATTERIES Lead Acid vs Li-Ion Lead Acid - VR / AGM Advantages Lower cost Safe to operate Disadvantages Lower cycle life vs Li-Ion Larger and heavier vs Li-Ion Expected Lifetime = 3 to 5 years Lithium Ion Advantages High Depth of Discharge More life cycles then Lead Disadvantages Higher initial cost Fire - depending on makeup Expected Lifetime = 10+ years HYBRID PV SYSTEMS from Symtech Solar About Us Symtech Solar Group is an American renewable energy company that has pioneered the upstream PV system integration process from its factory platform in China.
