Description
The inverter is the heart of a solar system. A hybrid inverter takes energy from the panels, charges the batteries, powers the house and, when needed, draws power from the grid or a generator. When the power goes out, it switches to the batteries and panels so the connected appliances keep running.
The inverter's power rating is chosen based on what you'll have running at the same time, not on your total monthly consumption. An air conditioner, a water pump or a refrigerator draws more current at startup, and that gets factored in. We also check whether the house runs on 120 V or 120/240 V, because some household equipment, such as certain air conditioners or pumps, runs on 240 V.
Many homes in the DR already have an inverter with lead-acid batteries that charges from the grid. A hybrid inverter can replace it and use the sun for charging. We install it with its breakers, protection devices and a critical loads panel, and set up the app so you can see production and battery status.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use my old inverter with solar panels?
Some inverter chargers accept panels through a charge controller, and others don't. We check your equipment and tell you whether it's worth adapting or replacing.
Can a hybrid inverter run an air conditioner?
It depends on the inverter's power rating, the air conditioner and the batteries. We do the math first so it doesn't trip or drain in a few hours.
