Hybrid Solar System for Home

A combined solution that integrates the features of both grid-tied and off-grid systems. A hybrid system allows you to save on electricity bills using solar energy while also having backup power from batteries during grid outages. This flexible and reliable setup, ensures your home is powered under any circumstance — during sunny days or in the event of nighttime power outages.

Advantages of a Hybrid System for Home

  • A hybrid solar system includes batteries, so if the external grid fails, your home will not be left in the dark. The system instantly switches to off-grid mode and powers lighting, heating, and other essential appliances from the batteries. You get a blackout insurance policy, maintaining comfort and safety in your home. This energy reliability is the main reason to choose a hybrid solution.

  • In a hybrid configuration, solar energy is used with maximum efficiency. During the day, panels meet the home’s immediate needs and charge the batteries. Instead of sending excess energy only to the grid, you store it for use in the evening and at night. This increases the share of self-generated solar power in total consumption, bringing your home closer to energy independence.

  • A hybrid system allows optimization of consumption according to electricity prices. For example, you can charge the batteries from solar power (or from the grid) during cheap night-time tariffs and use this reserve during peak hours when electricity is expensive. This flexibility helps reduce monthly bills through smart load management.

  • Excess energy from solar panels is never wasted: if the batteries are already full, the hybrid inverter sends the surplus kilowatt-hours to the external grid, just like a grid-tied system. This way, you can still sell extra solar electricity to the utility and earn money. A hybrid solar system combines the advantages of both worlds — you save on your own consumption while simultaneously earning from any surplus generation.

How Does It Work?

  • During cloudy periods or at night, the hybrid inverter powers the home from the batteries. If the stored energy is depleted, the system seamlessly draws power from the grid, avoiding interruptions. In the event of a blackout, the hybrid inverter instantly isolates the home from the external network and switches to battery power, effectively operating as a backup UPS. When grid voltage is restored, the inverter synchronizes with the network and resumes charging the batteries from solar panels (or from the grid if needed).

    In this way, the hybrid system intelligently alternates energy sources, always selecting the optimal one — solar, battery, or grid — ensuring the home remains powered at minimal cost.

Government Subsidies Up to 70%

The installation of hybrid systems in private homes is also eligible for Estonian renewable energy subsidy programs. The government reimburses up to 70% of the costs for solar equipment with battery storage. Essentially, you pay only a third of the price while receiving a complete setup — panels, inverter, and batteries.

We assist our clients in securing the subsidy: providing guidance on eligibility, submitting the necessary applications, and supporting the process until compensation is received. Thanks to government support, choosing a hybrid solar system becomes even more advantageous: savings on electricity bills are complemented by a significant reduction in initial investment, which accelerates the return on your investment.

Who Is It Suitable For?

The hybrid option is recommended for homeowners who want to ensure safety and comfort in their homes while making efficient use of solar energy. If you were planning to install solar panels to save on electricity but are concerned about potential power outages, a hybrid solar system addresses both needs simultaneously.

  • Hybrid systems are also often chosen by owners of existing grid-tied solar setups who wish to increase their energy independence. If you already have a solar system that operates only when connected to the grid, upgrading to a hybrid solution by adding batteries allows you to store energy and use it during outages.

  • A hybrid solar system is the choice of discerning homeowners willing to invest a bit more for guaranteed electricity supply and maximum efficiency from their solar installation.
