Hybrid Solar Systems

Best of Both Worlds

What is a Hybrid System?

A Hybrid Solar System combines the benefits of both On-Grid and Off-Grid systems. During the day, solar panels power your loads and charge a battery bank simultaneously. Surplus energy is exported to the grid via net metering. During grid failures, the system seamlessly switches to battery power in milliseconds — with zero interruption.

Aureon Solar's hybrid installations use smart Energy Management Systems (EMS) that prioritise solar energy first, then battery, and only draw from the grid as a last resort — maximising self-consumption and minimising electricity costs.

System Operation

How the Hybrid System Operates

Daytime — Solar Priority

Solar panels generate DC electricity. The hybrid inverter converts it to AC and powers all your loads first. Any surplus charges the battery bank.

Battery Full — Export to Grid

Once batteries are fully charged (typically by midday), excess solar power is automatically exported to the TANGEDCO grid earning you net metering credits.

Evening / Night — Battery Power

After sunset, the system draws power from batteries first, reducing grid consumption to near zero even at night for 6–12 hours depending on battery size.

Grid Failure — Seamless Switchover

When TANGEDCO power fails, the hybrid inverter disconnects from the grid in <20ms and switches to battery-powered island mode automatically — no UPS needed.

Grid Restored — Resynchronisation

When grid power returns, the system resyncs automatically and resumes normal operation — charging batteries and exporting surplus energy.

Advantages

Why Hybrid Solar is Worth It

⚡

Zero Power Interruptions

Experience zero downtime — the hybrid system switches to battery power in under 20 milliseconds during grid failures, faster than any UPS system.

💰

Maximum Bill Reduction

With self-consumption of solar + battery, you can reduce your electricity bill by 80–95%, especially if you shift heavy loads like AC and washing machine to solar hours.

📱

Smart Load Management

The EMS can automatically schedule high-power appliances (EV charging, water heaters) during peak solar generation hours for maximum savings.

🔋

Future-Ready Design

Start with a smaller battery and expand storage capacity later as needs grow. Our hybrid systems support battery expansion without changing the inverter.

🌙

Night-Time Solar Usage

Store cheap solar energy during the day and use it at night, avoiding expensive grid power consumption during peak evening hours.

📊

Time-of-Use Optimisation

Advanced inverters can intelligently decide when to use solar, battery, or grid power based on real-time tariff rates, maximising financial savings.
