Hybrid inverter for maximum energy independence
A hybrid inverter combines the functions of an inverter and a battery storage system in one device. It converts the direct current from photovoltaic systems into usable alternating current and simultaneously enables the intermediate storage of surplus energy - ideal for increasing self-consumption and for backup solutions in the event of grid failures.
We offer single-phase and three-phase hybrid inverters with up to 9 MPPTs and various string configurations. The range covers all power classes - from compact devices with 2 to 10 kW to solutions for commercial and large-scale systems with 30, 50 or 100 kW.
Hybrid inverters on Solartraders - the all-in-one solution for modern PV systems
Hybrid inverters are central components of modern photovoltaic systems. They combine the conversion of solar power (DC) into usable household electricity (AC) with the intelligent charging and discharging management of battery storage systems - all in one device. This combination enables maximum self-consumption, greater independence from the public grid and more efficient energy use throughout the day.
Particularly with rising electricity prices and growing interest in energy self-sufficiency, hybrid inverters are becoming the standard solution - for both private and commercial applications.
What do hybrid inverters do?
Compared to conventional inverters, hybrid models offer significantly more functionality: they not only control the feed-in to the power grid, but also intelligently decide when electricity is stored, consumed or exported. This allows PV yields to be used optimally - also in combination with time-dependent electricity tariffs or dynamic load management.
Some models also enable
- Emergency power supply: Continued operation of critical loads in the event of a grid failure
- Real-time energy monitoring: For full control over generation, consumption and storage status
- Connection to EMS systems (Energy Management Systems) for complex system concepts
Advantages at a glance
- High level of self-consumption: expensive grid electricity is reduced by storing instead of feeding into the grid
- Power failure safety: backup function secures the supply in the event of blackouts
- Space and cost savings: A central solution simplifies planning and installation
- Scalability: Ideal for systems that grow with energy requirements
- Future-proof: Ready for smart grids, dynamic feed-in and cross-sector solutions

Technological features in detail
Today, hybrid inverters perform far more tasks than just converting direct current into alternating current. They are central control units in energy management and enable photovoltaic systems to be operated more intelligently and efficiently. Typical functions include
Peak shaving
Hybrid inverters help to avoid expensive peak loads in electricity consumption. Surplus energy from the storage system is used when consumption is particularly high - for example when several appliances or machines are in operation at the same time. This reduces peak load charges and ensures a more even load on the grid.

Battery management
A well thought-out battery management system (BMS) is crucial for the service life and efficiency of storage systems. Hybrid inverters regulate charging currents and discharge cycles in such a way that the battery is protected and optimally utilized - adapted to consumption patterns, weather forecasts and grid status.

Smart Load Control
Thanks to intelligent load control, certain consumers can be prioritized - for example heat pumps, wallboxes or industrial processes. This ensures more efficient energy distribution in the system and reduces unnecessary grid draws.

Remote monitoring
Most hybrid inverters today offer cloud-based or app-controlled monitoring tools. This allows users and installers to monitor the status of the PV system, storage status, self-consumption and grid interaction in real time - for greater transparency, maintenance reliability and rapid fault diagnosis.

Multi-MPPT technology
For systems with multiple roof orientations or shaded areas, multi-MPPT technology ensures that each PV string can find its optimum operating point separately. This significantly increases the overall yield of the system and maximizes efficiency, even with more complex roof surfaces.
