Grid-tied or hybrid solar system: which to choose?

A grid-tied system is suited to those who do not need storage, while a hybrid inverter can be installed without a battery now or paired with storage.

Which system fits your needs?

Grid-tied without batteryFor a lower starting investment; during a grid outage it normally shuts down.
Hybrid, battery laterFor adding storage in the future; backup does not operate without suitable equipment.
Hybrid with batteryFor storing energy; outage backup requires specifically configured backup functionality.

How much do these systems start at?

A 5 kW installed grid-connected package starts at €3,600. A 5 kW package plus a catalog RW-F5.3 unit is approximately €5,414. The hybrid inverter price difference must be confirmed in a quotation.

What happens when the grid fails?

A grid-connected system normally stops; hybrid systems need a correctly installed backup function and compatible equipment to supply backup circuits.
