Introduction:
In a solar power system, an inverter is a key component that is responsible for converting DC power to AC power for use in the grid or home appliances. However, there are two types of solar inverters and hybrid solar inverters available in the market. This article will explain in detail the differences between solar inverters and hybrid solar inverters, aiming to help you better understand their functions and applicable scenarios.
Solar inverters are the most common type of inverter and are mainly used to convert the DC power generated by solar panels into AC power. The main function of a solar inverter is to ensure that the electricity produced by the solar system meets the standard current and voltage of the home or the grid. It is usually connected to the grid and can inject excess power into the grid while drawing energy from the grid to meet the needs of home appliances. Solar inverters usually do not operate when there is no power from the grid.
A hybrid solar inverter is a more versatile type of inverter. In addition to converting the DC power generated by the solar panels to AC power, the hybrid solar inverter also has the ability to store energy and connect to the grid. This means that it can store excess solar power in a battery bank and supply it to home appliances when needed. When the grid goes down, the hybrid solar inverter can provide backup power through the energy storage system to keep the home powered.
Difference Comparison
The main differences between solar inverters and hybrid solar inverters are as follows:
a. Function: Solar inverters can only convert DC power to AC power and inject the excess power into the grid. The hybrid solar inverter not only has the inverter function, but also can store solar electricity and supply it to the home when needed.
b. Power supply capability: Solar inverters can only operate when there is power from the grid and cannot provide backup power. Hybrid solar inverters, on the other hand, have an energy storage system that can continue to provide power to the home when the grid is down.
c. System Cost: Because hybrid solar inverters have more features and energy storage systems, they are typically more expensive than regular solar inverters. Therefore, budget and system requirements need to be considered when choosing an inverter.
Application Scenarios
Depending on the needs and scenarios, solar inverters and hybrid solar inverters can be used in different systems:
a. Solar inverters are suitable for systems that only need to inject solar power into the grid and have no need for energy storage.
b. Hybrid solar inverters are suitable for systems that want a stable power supply both with and without grid power, especially in areas with unstable grid or with frequent power outages.
