These are a combination of the above two inverters, which allow the user to be mostly independent of the grid and sync with it in case of low solar or high consumption days. Our battery-hybrid inverters first charge the connected battery and then export any excess power to the grid.

Similarly, at night/cloudy days, they are capable enough to first use the stored power for consumption and, after a certain threshold, recharge the battery through the grid. Due to grid-syncing, we can install them with anti-islanding protection.

These are great for Indian consumers, but often the utilities are not supportive of providing a net-metering connection to these hybrid inverters. Furthermore, the regulations around them are unclear too.

Apart from these three types of solar inverters, our on-grid inverters can be technically categorized depending on the design and size of the system. These are:

String inverters

String inverters are the most commonly used type of solar inverter at homes and by business owners. They are directly connected to the grid and, most often, don’t support a battery backup. We provide these high-performing inverters with a 25-year design life and 5 years warranty.

Unlike the less sophisticated ones, which only give about 90-92% conversion on the ground, we provide the best of them with a 97–99% conversion rate from DC to AC which prevents continuous 5-6% loss on conversion for economic reasons.

These, typically, come at 1KW~60KW. The difference in performance is reflected in the price and serviceability.

Micro-inverters

Our micro inverters are smaller in size and capacity than the standard string inverters. Standard string inverters range from 1.5-5kW in size for residential applications, while micro inverters are usually around 200-350W. In contrast with the string inverters, these do not require an array of panels to convert the DC.

These can be installed on the back of every panel and are responsible for converting the panel on which they are installed. These are comparatively a bit costlier but better for areas that have partial shading. These are also on-grid/grid-connected inverters.

Central inverters

These inverters are usually used in MW scale plants. They are huge and have whole rooms dedicated to the inverter with exhausts. They are incredibly efficient and have a lot more grid-related features like balancing, fluctuation management, etc. Unlike string inverters, these typically start from 400KW.

Businesses and homeowners need not worry about power cuts and high electricity bills now. Trust us to select the best solar inverter for businesses and home utilities.
