Technical FAQs 4

What is an off-grid hybrid inverter?

Commonly known as an off-grid hybrid inverter, it combines solar + battery + optional grid power, ensuring uninterrupted energy supply. Ideal for users in regions with occasional grid access who prioritize solar autonomy but value backup flexibility.

What is an off-grid solar inverter?

Off-grid systems provide energy independence. They are ideal for remote areas without grid access. These inverters ensure a steady power supply even during outages. Battery storage increases costs significantly. Users may need to manage their energy usage carefully, as the system's capacity depends on the battery size. 3. Hybrid Solar Inverter

What is a hybrid inverter?

Disaster-prone regions: Off-grid systems ensure that power remains available during emergencies when the grid may be compromised. Hybrid inverters combine the key features of both on-grid and off-grid systems, offering flexibility, energy independence, and enhanced control over solar energy usage.

What is the difference between on-grid & off-grid inverters?

On-grid systems are easier to install as they do not require batteries. Off-grid and hybrid systems need additional components, making their installation more complex. On-grid inverters are best for urban areas with stable power supply. Off-grid inverters suit rural or remote locations without grid access.
