In today's world, when renewable energy is gaining importance, hybrid inverters and microinverters play a key role in photovoltaic systems. Thanks to systems for controlling and analyzing self-consumption, users can further optimize the use of solar energy. Here are their characteristics and the benefits of their use.
What are hybrid inverters?
Hybrid inverters are advanced devices that combine the functions of a traditional inverter with the ability to manage energy stored in a storage system, such as batteries. This allows them to not only convert solar energy into electrical energy, but also manage its flow in such a way as to maximize self-consumption and savings.
Energy management: They enable the use of solar energy and stored energy from batteries, which increases the energy independence of users.
Support for storage systems: They integrate photovoltaic systems with energy storage, which allows the use of energy even at night or during power outages.
Analysis of self-consumption: Self-consumption monitoring systems provide information on energy consumption, which allows for optimisation of its use and further savings.
Microinverters are small devices that are mounted directly on each photovoltaic panel. Their job is to convert the electricity generated by a single panel into alternating current.
Performance optimization: They work independently, meaning that even if one panel is underperforming, the others can still produce energy at full capacity.
Ease of expansion: They enable flexible expansion of systems because panels can be added one by one.
Monitoring and diagnostics: Accurate monitoring of each panel's performance allows for faster diagnosis of potential problems and enables analysis of self-consumption.
Both hybrid inverters and microinverters are often equipped with advanced self-consumption control and analysis systems that bring a number of benefits:
They enable real-time monitoring of energy usage, allowing patterns to be identified and energy use to be adjusted to times when energy production is highest.
By analyzing data, users can make informed decisions about when and how to use energy, leading to lower electricity bills.
These systems provide information that helps in planning future investments in renewable energy installations and optimizing existing solutions.
In the event of a grid failure, the hybrid inverter can switch the building to battery power, which is particularly important for businesses and households that cannot afford power outages.
Hybrid inverters are equipped with intelligent management systems that can optimize energy consumption, taking into account current electricity prices, weather forecasts and battery charge levels. This allows users to minimize energy costs and increase their autonomy.
Hybrid inverters and microinverters are not only the technology of the future, but also the current standard in modern photovoltaic installations. Their implementation allows for more efficient use of solar energy, which is crucial for sustainable development and environmental protection.
