Solar + battery + grid, all in one

Hybrid solar systems with uninterrupted power backup

A hybrid solar system combines solar panels, battery storage and grid connectivity — so your power stays on during outages, and your bills stay low every other day.

Hybrid Solar System

What is a hybrid solar system?

On-grid reliability, off-grid independence

A hybrid solar system is a setup that combines the features of both on-grid and off-grid systems. Solar panels generate electricity, and battery storage holds the excess for later use.

Unlike a purely grid-tied system, a hybrid setup keeps running during power outages thanks to its batteries — while still staying connected to the utility grid so you can draw power when needed, or feed surplus energy back in.

How Hybrid Solar System Works
The process

How a hybrid solar system works

Solar, battery and grid power work together automatically — here’s the sequence.

1

Solar power generation

Panels capture sunlight and convert it to DC electricity, which the hybrid inverter converts to usable AC power.

2

Powering your home

The system prioritizes solar energy for real-time use, cutting your dependence on the grid.

3

Battery charging

Extra solar energy not used immediately is stored in batteries for use at night or on cloudy days.

4

Using stored energy

When solar production drops, the system draws from the battery instead of the grid — lowering costs.

5

Grid interaction

If solar and battery aren’t enough, the system draws from the grid; surplus power can be exported under net metering.

6

Backup during outages

The inverter automatically switches to battery power the moment it detects a grid failure.

7

Smart energy management

Monitoring apps let you track generation, consumption and storage in real time.

Why go hybrid

Benefits of a hybrid solar system

⚡

Power backup during outages

Battery storage keeps electricity flowing during grid failures.

☀

Efficient use of solar power

Extra energy is stored instead of exported at low rates.

₹

Lower electricity bills

Use stored solar energy during peak, expensive hours.

+

Flexible battery storage

Expand battery capacity later as your energy needs grow.

↔

Grid support & net metering

Sell excess power back to the grid where net metering is available.

♻

Environmentally friendly

Clean solar energy reduces your carbon footprint.

↗

Increases property value

Homes with solar and storage are more attractive to buyers.

⚙

Smart energy management

Modern inverters monitor performance and alert you to issues.

Installation

Installation process of a hybrid solar system

1

Site inspection & design

Rooftop, direction and shading are assessed to design a custom hybrid system and provide a detailed quotation.

2

Approvals & mounting

DISCOM applications for grid connectivity are filed, and mounting structures are installed at the correct tilt.

3

Panel, inverter & battery setup

Panels are wired to the hybrid inverter, and the battery bank is connected for backup power.

4

Testing & handover

Net meter installation, system testing, DISCOM inspection, and final handover with documentation.
