Switching to a hybrid inverter

What changes with a hybrid inverter

• It converts the panels' energy for the home, like your current inverter.
• It charges and discharges a compatible battery, connected now or later.
• Many models have a backup output for essential circuits in a cut, if the system is wired for it.
• It shows production, consumption and battery status in an app.

Not all hybrids are alike: power, number of phases and compatible batteries vary from model to model.

When switching makes sense

A hybrid is worth considering when your current inverter reaches the end of its life, when faults keep coming back, or when you want to add a battery and the inverter won't allow it. If the inverter is still sound and failed once, a repair may be enough; we'll tell you that straight.

What we check before proposing

• The panels you already have: how many and how they're wired, to choose a compatible inverter.
• The grid connection: single-phase or three-phase.
• The battery you have or want, to confirm it works with the new inverter.
• Where the inverter goes and how it connects to the consumer unit, including backup if you want it.

Replacing an inverter may involve notifications or other steps under the rules for solar installations; in the quote we explain what applies to your case. If you only want to swap the unit, see inverter replacement.
