Grid + Battery Hybrid
Also called AC-coupled or DC-coupled, hybrid systems can deliver power during either on-grid or off-grid conditions. The grid-connected systems have solar panels with a battery setup for utility savings and backup power peace of mind. Never be without power when you get energy from the Sun, the utility company or the batteries. Both the PV array and the utility power can keep the batteries charged. In the event of a utility outage, the batteries deliver electricity to the household for normal, everyday use. If the utility is out for many days, don't worry, the solar panels will generate electricity for the home and charge the batteries.
