Grid-tie inverter: This type of inverter is used in grid-tied solar power systems. It converts the direct current (DC) electricity generated by the solar panels into alternating current (AC) to supply power to the electrical grid. The main purpose of this setup is to sell excess electricity back to the grid, earning revenue, and offsetting electricity charges.
Grid-tie inverter with battery: This is similar to the grid-tie inverter, but it includes a battery storage system. The excess solar power is used to charge the battery, allowing you to store the surplus electricity for later use. During times of low solar production, you can draw electricity from the batteries instead of the grid, which can help offset electricity bills further.
Off-grid inverter with battery: This type of inverter is used in off-grid solar power systems, where there is no connection to the electrical grid. It allows you to generate solar power for self-use and also stores excess power in the battery. When solar generation is insufficient (e.g., at night or during extended periods of low sunlight), you can switch to using the stored energy in the battery.
Off-grid inverter with battery/hybrid inverter: This is a hybrid system that combines the features of off-grid and grid-tie inverters with a battery. It allows you to generate solar power for self-use and charge the battery. When solar power generation is insufficient, you have the flexibility to switch to either the battery power supply or the grid power supply, depending on what is available or preferred.
E-Hybrid Tech Solar inverter: This is an inverter with unique technology. It allows solar power for self-use and charging the battery. When solar power generation is insufficient, it can use a combination of grid power supply and battery power supply as the complement, and 0~100% auto-balancing. You can set the inverter to prioritize solar power usage or use AC force charging mode to charge the battery when needed.
