Off-grid electricity
How it Works:
Solar Energy Conversion: Solar panels convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity.
Energy Flow Management: The hybrid inverter optimizes the flow of electricity.
During the day, it prioritizes using solar power directly to power your home.
Excess solar energy is stored in the batteries.
At night or during cloudy periods, the inverter draws power from the batteries to supply your home.
Grid Interaction: The hybrid inverter can also interact with the grid:
Grid-tied mode: Excess solar energy can be fed back to the grid (if permitted by your utility company).
Backup power: During grid outages, the system can provide power from the batteries, keeping your essential appliances running.
Key Components:
Solar Panels: Convert sunlight into DC electricity.
Hybrid Inverter:
Converts DC power from the solar panels and batteries to AC power for your home.
Manages the flow of electricity between the solar panels, batteries, and the grid.
Batteries: Store excess solar energy for use when there's no sunlight or during grid outages.
This system offers increased energy independence, reduced reliance on the grid, and potential cost savings on your electricity bills.
