Today, using power generated by the conventional method is exerting a huge financial pressure on people due to which they are looking for an alternative. This trend is growing at a fast pace. Hybrid solar systems are the alternative which people are finding very safe and convenient to use. With the help of these, you can be your own power creator thereby saving on your precious money.
Using the power of the sun is a great idea but sun can only provide power during day time. Once it sets, you have no option but to resort to buying energy from the grid. You can make use of a Hybrid Grid System and store the extra power for using it at night. Once you do this, you can not only reduce but even eliminate your power bill.
These are not as common as grid tied solar power system without batteries. These systems are more expensive than the above-mentioned ones and are also difficult to install. Utility companies do not easily install this system.
A grid tied solar power system that works with batteries makes use of a battery as well as the grid as a backup. The method by which it works is that any excess power generated is stored in the battery and then the remaining power is sent to the grid once the battery gets fully charged.
Sometimes, it might also happen that the power on the grid goes out. In this situation, the solar power system will switch to an off grid mode and the solar power that is being generated by the solar panels is used, along with the power that is stored in the battery as a form of backup. This proves very helpful in case of an emergency.
A hybrid solar power system can prove quite beneficial in the sense that it can store all the extra solar power, shield against power blackouts, give a good return on your solar investment as well as safeguard you against any hike in power prices.
