Hybrid Solar System Buying Guide
Everything you need to know about Hybrid solar systems with battery backup, pricing, and installation in UP.
A Hybrid solar system combines the best of both worlds: it is connected to the main utility grid (like an on-grid system) but also includes a battery bank to store energy for use during power outages.
This is the ideal solution for areas in Uttar Pradesh that experience frequent power cuts. During the day, the solar panels power your home and charge the batteries. Any excess energy is exported to the grid. During a power cut, the system automatically switches to battery power seamlessly.
Why Choose Hybrid Solar?
While on-grid systems are cheaper and great for savings, they shut down during a power cut for safety reasons (anti-islanding). A hybrid system ensures 24/7 uninterrupted power supply while still allowing you to save money via net metering.
The hybrid system consists of:
- Solar panels
- Hybrid Inverter
- Battery Bank (Lithium/Lead-Acid)
- Bi-directional net meter
- AC & DC distribution boxes
- Lightning arrester & earthing
The Core Components
Important Note on Subsidies
Under PM Surya Ghar Yojana, you only receive subsidy for the solar panels and standard on-grid components. Batteries are NOT subsidized by the government.
1. Hybrid Inverter
A highly intelligent inverter that manages power from the solar panels, the battery, and the grid simultaneously to ensure you always have power at the lowest cost.
2. Battery Bank
Stores excess solar energy generated during the day. We highly recommend modern Lithium-ion batteries for their long lifespan (10+ years), zero maintenance, and deep discharge capabilities.
Estimated Hybrid System Price
Hybrid systems cost more than on-grid due to the expensive battery bank. Here are approximate costs in UP:
| System Capacity | Estimated Total Price | Max Subsidy |
|---|---|---|
| 3 kW (With 5kWh Battery) | ₹2,80,000 | ₹1,08,000 |
| 5 kW (With 10kWh Battery) | ₹4,50,000 | ₹1,08,000 |
Disclaimer: Prices depend heavily on the battery chemistry (Lithium vs Lead-Acid) and capacity required. Please request a customized quote.
