{"id":121,"count":22,"description":"A hybrid inverter combines the functionalities of a traditional inverter with those of a battery management system. Whereas a regular inverter can only supply power to the meter box, a hybrid inverter can distribute the generated power between the meter box and a battery.  This makes a hybrid inverter indispensable for home battery or commercial battery storage systems.\n\nHybrid inverters are connected directly to the PV strings (solar panels) and provide efficient power distribution: some of the generated power goes to the meter box for direct use or feed-in to the grid, while the rest is stored in the battery for later use.\n\nImportant to know: Many existing installations do not have a hybrid inverter. In those cases, it is often necessary to replace the current inverter with a hybrid version. Keep in mind that this does not work with all systems. For example, if you have a micro-inverter system, such as those from Enphase or SolarEdge, an AC-coupled inverter is needed. This does not connect directly to the solar panels, but draws power from the meter box and sends it to the battery.    \n\nWith a hybrid inverter, you get the most out of your solar power system and increase your independence from the grid.","link":"https:\/\/www.sunwaytech.eu\/en\/product-category\/inverters-en\/hybrid\/","name":"Hybrid","slug":"hybrid","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":148,"meta":[],"menu_order":0,"acf":[],"cat_url":"https:\/\/www.sunwaytech.eu\/en\/product-category\/inverters-en\/hybrid\/","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sunwaytech.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/121","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sunwaytech.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sunwaytech.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/product_cat"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sunwaytech.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/148"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sunwaytech.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?product_cat=121"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
