Solar Inverters
A hybrid inverter is a type of solar inverter that combines the functionalities of both grid-tied and off-grid systems. It allows users to connect their solar energy system to the grid while also enabling battery storage for backup supply. This means that during the day, excess energy generated from solar panels can be stored in batteries for later use, which is particularly beneficial for times when the sun isn’t shining. The hybrid inverter manages the flow of energy between the battery, the sola system, and the grid, ensuring that you have a reliable and sustainable source of electricity.What is a Solar Inverter and How Does It Work?

Using a hybrid inverter comes with several advantages. Firstly, it allows for greater energy independence, as it can provide power even during outages by utilizing stored battery energy. Secondly, it maximizes the use of solar power by enabling users to store excess energy generated during peak sunlight hours. Additionally, hybrid inverters often come equipped with advanced features such as MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) which optimizes the energy production from solar panels. Lastly, they provide a versatile solution for both residential and commercial applications, meeting varying energy needs. The price of hybrid inverters can vary significantly based on their capacity and brand. On average, you can expect to pay anywhere from R10,000 to R30,000 for units ranging from 5kW to 12kW. Factors influencing the price include the inverter's efficiency, additional features, and the manufacturer. At Inverter Warehouse, we offer a competitive range of inverters for sale in South Africa, ensuring that you find a unit that fits your budget and energy needs. We stock the best quality solar inverters available. Everything we sell has been tested by ourselves. Compare the different types of inverters and their prices. The inverter's primary function is to convert DC power supplied by solar panels into AC power, which we use in our homes. Without one, you won't be able to use your produced solar power, and you will not be able to use the electrical grid stored energy from your battery bank. Another task the inverter has is to manage the charge and discharge of your battery, ensuring the overall health of your solar or load shedding system is working efficiently. Does a solar inverter have a battery? Generally no, although there are all-in-one systems that combine the two, but most commonly batteries and inverters are sold separately. Are there different types of inverters? Yes, there are three main types, the most popular being Hybrid. Both have their specific uses, and you can read more about this below or in our guides section.What are the Benefits of Using a Hybrid Inverter?

Types of Inverters
Hybrid Inverter
The high-quality Hybrid Inverter is the best inverter South Africa has to offer. It can be used as a grid-tied and off-grid solar solution. Its main advantages include blending energy sources (Solar, Battery & Grid) to make the most efficient system possible. The blending capabilities of the hybrid are a guarantee that you are not wasting any produced solar power.
They are an excellent investment because of this feature and will save you thousands of rands on electricity supplied from the grid system in the long run.
Off-Grid Inverter
This classic Inverter has been around for quite some time. A significant downfall of the off-grids within solar kits is that if your usage exceeds the amount of solar you produce, the inverter will switch over to the grid, ultimately seeing you waste precious (and free) solar energy. However, they are more affordable than the hybrid options and work perfectly in load-shedding kits. But if you want to add solar later, we strongly suggest a hybrid solution.
Grid-Tied Inverter
A Grid-tied Inverter allows you to switch between solar and grid power. When solar is available, it will be used as the primary energy source. But when solar energy is low, it switches to grid. Grid-tied systems are ideal for homes or businesses that use most of their power during the day and want to substitute their grid usage with solar energy.
3 Phase Inverter
3 phase power supply requires a 3-phase inverter. If you are looking for a 3-phase hybrid inverter but can't find the size you need, you can also use one single-phase inverter on each of your phases. You do not have to have all phases connected to a solar or load-shedding solution. Whatever the application, we have a solution.
