What Is The Difference between Off-grid Inverter And Hybrid Inverter?

Last news we talked about what off-grid inverters and hybrid inverters are, and now we discuss what their differences are.

1. Mode of operation

Off-grid energy storage inverters are mainly concerned with self-sufficiency, ensuring stable power supply even in the absence of the grid. Hybrid energy storage inverters are more flexible and can be used both on-grid and off-grid, switching freely according to actual needs.

2. Scope of application

Off-grid energy storage inverters are more suitable for remote areas without grid access. On the other hand, hybrid energy storage inverters are more suitable for large-scale renewable energy power stations, microgrids and other occasions where both on-grid and off-grid requirements need to be met.

3. Complexity

Hybrid inverters are relatively more complex to design and manufacture because they have more functions and more complex control strategies. However, this also means that it is better able to adapt to various complex power environments.

4. Cost

Due to the higher complexity of hybrid storage inverters, their cost is also typically higher than off-grid storage inverters, which corresponds to higher energy utilization efficiency and system stability.
