PV Inverters

An off-grid PV inverter is suitable for situations where grid electricity is unavailable. It is typically connected to solar panels, the load, and a battery bank. During the day, when solar panels are generating electricity, any excess power is stored in the energy storage system, serving not only to power the load but also to conserve energy. As the sun sets, the stockpiled power in the storage system can sustain the load’s operation throughout the evening.

A hybrid PV power inverter is designed to be integrated with solar modules, a battery energy storage system and grid power sources. It boasts a load capacity that exceeds the capacity of the hybrid PV inverter itself. Solar module-generated power is prioritized for utilization. Should the solar modules’ output fail to meet the load requirements, the battery energy storage system steps in to provide the necessary power. Should both the solar modules and the battery energy storage system’s power be insufficient, the grid supply is automatically engaged to ensure continuity of power delivery.

Moreover, the hybrid PV power inverter can capitalize on the fluctuations in electricity prices, leveraging peak and off-peak rates effectively. The inverter’s control program is configured to charge the battery storage system during low-price grid power periods and to discharge the stored energy during peak-priced grid usage times.
