Understanding the Heart of Your Solar System
A hybrid inverter is the intelligent "brain" of a modern solar system. It manages power from multiple sources—solar panels, batteries, and the grid—to provide a seamless and uninterrupted electricity supply. It's the key to achieving true energy independence in the face of load-shedding and grid instability.
This feature produces clean, high-quality power that is essential for safely running sensitive electronics like TVs, computers, and modern appliances.
A Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) controller maximizes the energy harvested from your solar panels, ensuring you get the most power possible throughout the day, even in changing weather conditions.
The ability to connect multiple inverters in parallel is crucial for future-proofing your investment. It allows you to expand your system's power output as your energy needs grow.
This allows the inverter to communicate with modern lithium batteries (like Dyness, LVTOPSUN, and SVolt), enabling optimized charging, enhanced safety, and accurate performance monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, many modern hybrid inverters can operate without a battery, drawing power directly from solar panels during the day and switching to the grid when solar is unavailable.
First, you download the inverter's specific app (e.g., "My Livoltek," "Sunsynk Connect"). You can then connect to the inverter by scanning its Wi-Fi dongle's serial number. Our technicians will handle this full setup and guide you through the app during commissioning.
This indicates that the solar panel array's input current exceeds the inverter's rated limit. This could be due to having too many panels connected. Our design team ensures your panel array is perfectly matched to your inverter to prevent this.
The standard warranty varies but is typically 5 years for top brands like Sunsynk, Deye, and Growatt, and 2 years for Livoltek. It is crucial to register your product online to activate the full warranty, a service Sona Solar provides for all our clients.
