Hybrid solar inverters, also known as multi-mode inverters, are devices that combine the functionalities of both a solar inverter and a battery inverter into a single unit. These inverters are specifically designed to work with solar photovoltaic (PV) systems that incorporate energy storage in the form of batteries.

The primary function of a hybrid solar inverter is to convert the direct current (DC) electricity generated by the solar panels into alternating current (AC) electricity that can be used to power household appliances or fed back into the grid. Additionally, hybrid inverters have the capability to manage and control the charging and discharging of batteries, enabling the storage of excess solar energy for later use.

Hybrid solar inverters provide greater flexibility and control over solar energy systems by integrating solar power generation, energy storage, and grid interaction into a single device. They are commonly used in residential and commercial applications where maximizing self-consumption, backup power capability, and energy independence are desired.
