What is the difference between a hybrid inverter and an off-grid inverter?

A hybrid model connects to solar panels, batteries, and the Eskom grid. It switches between sources automatically. An off-grid model works only with solar panels and batteries. No grid connection is possible with off-grid models.

Which inverter size do I need for my home?

Size depends on your peak load and essential appliances. A 5kva model suits most homes with fridge, lights, TV, and Wi-Fi. Larger homes with geysers and air conditioners need 8kW to 12kW models. Contact Solar Panel Energy for free load calculations.

Can I add batteries to my inverter later?

Yes. Hybrid inverters from Deye and Luxpower support battery expansion. You can start with solar panels only and add lithium batteries when budget allows. The unit will charge and manage the batteries automatically.
