Why Go Solar

Savings with Hybrid System

The following calculations make clear, installing a hybrid solar system is a financially smart move for homeowners and businesses alike. Let’s walk you through typical performance metrics and savings for hybrid solar panels for your home:

01
Solar panels harvest sunlight and convert it into electricity, reducing your reliance on grid units at ₹8+ per kWh.
02
Surplus power charges your battery bank, so you use it later instead of buying from the grid or running a generator.
03
At night or during power cuts, your system draws from the battery keeping lights, pumps or business operations running.
04
When your battery is full or solar exceeds your load, you can export to the grid (if permitted); when everything else is exhausted, you draw from grid.
05
Combining solar + storage + grid means you cut high-tariff units, avoid backup generator costs and secure reliable power.
06
Net-metering and battery backup, improves ROI and your system delivers long-term savings and uninterrupted power.

What is an Hybrid Solar Panel System?

A hybrid solar panel system integrates the functionality of both an on-grid (grid-tied) system and an off-grid (battery + solar) system. Essentially, you install solar panels, you remain connected to the utility grid, and you add a battery backup.

When sunlight is available, your panels power your home or load and charge the battery; when sunlight is insufficient or during outages, the stored power kicks in; and if both solar+battery are insufficient, you tap the grid. This architecture gives you savings, backup, and grid-tie flexibility.

Components Used in Hybrid System

Here are the main components of a standard off-grid solar panel system:

• Solar PV Panels
• Hybrid Inverter
• Battery Bank / Energy Storage System
• Mounting Structure / Racks
• Charge Controller / Battery Management System (BMS)
• Balance of System (BoS) Components
• Grid Interface & Bi‐directional Meter
• Monitoring & Control System

Advantages & Disadvantages of Hybrid System

Advantages:
• Unlike pure on-grid systems, you have battery backup when grid fails or solar is low.
• Because you store and use your solar energy instead of exporting all surplus or relying solely on grid.
• Scales with battery upgrades, EV charging, grid-tie exports, etc.
• You get independence from grid fluctuations and generator usage.

Disadvantages:
• Because batteries + hybrid inverter add to cost.
• Batteries typically need replacement every 5–10 years depending on type, which adds to lifecycle cost.
• You need accurate sizing of panels, batteries, inverter, loads; mis-sizing can reduce savings or cause backup failure.
• Some subsidies or net-metering policies may be less favourable.

Which is better?

On-Grid System: Best for homes or businesses with reliable grid access and minimal backup needs. Lower upfront cost, faster payback, simpler design.

Off-Grid System: Ideal where grid is absent/unreliable and you need full independence; higher cost and longer payback, battery‐heavy.

Hybrid System: Balanced choice: offers grid-tie savings + battery backup reliability. Slightly higher cost than on-grid, but much better resilience and ROI than off-grid in many urban/premise-based scenarios.

Which is better?
On-grid payback ~4–6 years (subject to tariff/net‐metering); off-grid longer maybe 6–8 years or more; hybrid often ~5–7 years given savings + backup value.

Frequently Asked Questions

PureUrja for Hybrid Solar Panel System

What is the cost of a hybrid solar panel system for a typical 5 kW setup?

A 5 kW hybrid solar system in India typically costs between ₹4.5 lakh to ₹6.5 lakh, depending on the solar panel brand, hybrid inverter type, and battery capacity you choose. At PureUrja, we customize every system based on your energy needs, location, and usage pattern to ensure maximum savings and performance.

How many units will a hybrid system generate and store each year?

A 5 kW hybrid solar setup can generate around 6,500 to 7,000 units (kWh) of electricity annually. The battery bank stores excess power, allowing you to use solar energy even during the night or power cuts. This means you consume more of your own solar power, reducing your grid dependency by up to 80%.

How does battery storage affect my electricity bill savings?

Battery storage helps you consume your own solar energy instead of drawing from the grid. During the day, solar panels charge the batteries, and at night or during outages, that stored energy runs your appliances. This reduces grid usage and cuts your electricity bill by 60–80%, depending on your consumption and solar capacity.

Will the hybrid system work during a grid outage or blackout?

Yes, that’s one of its biggest advantages! Unlike an on-grid system, a hybrid solar system continues to power your home during outages, drawing energy from the battery backup. So your essential appliances—lights, fans, Wi-Fi, and even refrigerators—keep running smoothly even when the grid fails.

What battery capacity should I choose for my home to ensure backup?

Battery capacity depends on your daily energy requirement and backup duration.
For instance, a 5 kW hybrid system paired with a 10 kWh battery can run key household appliances for 6–8 hours. PureUrja’s experts recommend the right battery bank after analyzing your connected load, usage time, and budget for optimal efficiency.

Are there government subsidies available for hybrid solar systems in India?

Currently, subsidies primarily apply to on-grid systems under residential rooftop programs by MNRE and DISCOMs. However, some states are beginning to include hybrid systems under special subsidy schemes or battery-integration incentives. Our team at PureUrja stays updated with all subsidy announcements and helps you apply for any eligible benefits.

How long is the payback period for a hybrid solar system compared to on-grid or off-grid?

Typically, a hybrid solar panel system’s payback period is 5 to 7 years, depending on usage and local electricity tariffs.

  • On-grid systems: ~4–6 years
  • Off-grid systems: ~7–9 years

The hybrid option balances savings and reliability, with ROI further improving if you experience frequent power cuts or high tariff rates.

Can I export excess solar energy to the grid with a hybrid system (net-metering)?

Yes, if your local DISCOM allows net-metering for hybrid systems. When your battery is full and solar generation exceeds consumption, the extra power is exported to the grid, and you earn credit on your electricity bill. PureUrja assists with all net-metering documentation, approvals, and installations.

What maintenance is required for the battery bank and hybrid inverter over time?

Hybrid systems are low-maintenance, but periodic checks ensure longevity:

  • Clean panels every 15–30 days
  • Inspect batteries for charge cycles and health every 6 months
  • Hybrid inverter firmware updates annually

PureUrja offers AMC (Annual Maintenance Contracts) with remote monitoring, ensuring your system runs at peak efficiency year-round.

How can I scale or upgrade my hybrid system in the future (e.g., EV charging or extra storage)?

Hybrid systems are modular and scalable. You can:

  • Add more solar panels for increased generation
  • Upgrade your battery capacity
  • Integrate EV chargers or smart energy management systems later

PureUrja designs every system with scalable architecture, ensuring your investment grows with your future energy goals.

Your Power. Your Planet.
