What is a hybrid inverter?

Hybrid inverters are essentially two inverters in one; they combine a solar inverter and a battery inverter into one simple unit. These advanced inverters use solar energy to power your home, charge a battery or send excess energy into the electricity grid. Most hybrid inverters can also provide emergency backup power during a blackout.

What is a Deye hybrid inverter?

Deye hybrid inverters, produced by Ningbo Deye Inverter Technology Co, have become popular for backup and off-grid applications due to their high power rating, dual AC inputs, and built-in backup generator controls.

What are the best hybrid inverters?

Sungrow SH-RS series are our favourite hybrid inverters due to their numerous features, wide variety of sizes, high backup power rating, simple design and affordability. The SH-RS series is available from 3.0kW to 10kW and features 200% solar oversizing, a digital display, instantaneous backup power, and high efficiency.

Are Sungrow batteries compatible with SH-Rs inverters?

Sungrow’s SBR and new SBH high-voltage (HV) battery systems are the only battery compatible with the SH-RS inverters and are built using safe Lithium Ferro Phosphate (LFP) cells.

How long does a hybrid inverter take to change to backup power?

Some hybrid inverters deliberately take 10 to 60 seconds to change to backup power. This may sound annoying, but it immediately indicates to the homeowner that there has been a grid outage so they can start to conserve battery power.

Do you need a hybrid inverter for a whole house backup?

Whole house backup generally requires a more powerful hybrid/off-grid inverter. However, a few exceptions exist, such as the Deye (Sunsync & Noark) range of all-in-one hybrid inverters, which are available under the Sol-Ark brand in North America.
