Hybrid Solar Systems

Looking to reduce your energy use without fully committing to going off-grid? A hybrid solar system with home battery backup offers the best of both worlds by combining grid-tied and off-grid capabilities, so you don’t have to choose one extreme or the other. With a hybrid system, you stay connected to the grid, allowing you to sell excess solar energy back to the utility company. In case of a grid outage, your home battery backup ensures you still have power. This setup helps you cut energy costs, access reliable power, and move toward greater energy independence—all in one flexible system.

How Much Could a Hybrid Solar Panel System Save You?

Many people question whether a solar panel system will actually save them money. The answer to this is a big resounding YES! After the payoff period, you can calculate your Return On Investment (ROI) by looking at your electricity usage. If, for example, you normally use 1,200 kWh of electricity at $0.13 per kWh, your savings are $156. That’s the money you would spend on electricity per month without solar. This $156 is the extra money that you are now pocketing and will continue to pocket, and even more, as electricity rates rise over the years.
To find out what the exact savings could be for you, reach out to us by filling in and submitting the form to the right.
