Best of both worlds
You get the economics of net metering when the grid is up, and battery protection when it's not. No compromise between savings and reliability.
●Hybrid solar · Grid + battery backup
Best of both worlds —
grid + backup.
A hybrid system gives you net metering savings when the grid is on, and battery backup when it's not. No more choosing between economics and reliability — you get both.

Why hybrid
Four reasons hybrid solar wins in Indian conditions
Irregular power cuts and rising tariffs make hybrid the sweet spot — net metering economics with battery backup when the grid fails.
BK
Blackout protection
Your critical loads — medical equipment, Wi-Fi, refrigerators, fans — stay powered during grid outages without a noisy diesel generator.
FP
Future-proof design
Start with a smaller battery bank today and expand later as your needs or budget grows. Hybrid systems are designed for modularity.
SM
Smart energy management
Hybrid inverters manage solar, battery, and grid automatically — optimising for maximum self-consumption and minimum grid draw around the clock.
How it works
Six steps of intelligent energy management
Your hybrid inverter orchestrates solar, battery, and grid in real time — prioritising self-consumption and minimising grid draw.
1
Solar generates first
During daylight, your solar panels power your home directly. Priority 1 is always to use solar before touching the grid or batteries.
2
Surplus charges the battery
When solar output exceeds your live load, the hybrid inverter diverts surplus to the battery bank until it's fully charged.
3
Export earns credits
Once batteries are full, remaining surplus exports to the grid via net metering — earning bill credits at the DISCOM-specified rate.
4
Battery covers evening load
After sunset or during low-generation periods, the inverter draws from the battery first — typically covering 4–8 hours of evening load.
5
Grid fills in last resort
Once batteries hit the set minimum, the grid takes over seamlessly — without any interruption to your loads.
6
Grid cut? Battery kicks in instantly
During a grid outage, the hybrid inverter switches to battery in < 20ms — well below any sensitive load threshold.

On-grid vs hybrid vs off-grid
Side-by-side on the features that matter most — backup, subsidy eligibility, payback, and where each topology fits best.
| Feature | On-grid | Hybrid | Off-grid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Battery backup | None | Yes (customisable) | Yes (full autonomy) |
| Net metering | Full export | After battery full | No grid connection |
| PM Surya Ghar subsidy | Eligible | Eligible (check scheme) | Not eligible |
| Works during outage | Shuts down | Yes (battery hours) | Yes (indefinitely) |
| Upfront cost vs on-grid | Baseline | 25–40% higher | 50–80% higher |
| Best payback period | 3.5–4.5 yrs | 4–6 yrs | 5–8 yrs |
| Best suited for | Stable grid, urban | Irregular power cuts | Remote / no grid |
