Hybrid Solar
When choosing a solar power system, most households and businesses choose either a grid-connected or an off-grid system.
But there's a third option. A hybrid solar system combines the best of both worlds: the convenience of a grid connected system — including the ability to earn Feed-In tariff credits — with the extra peace of mind of a battery backup. This means that even during a power blackout, you still have electricity.

Combining energy storage with a grid connection to your property, hybrid systems can provide the flexibility of being able to store the energy you generate during the day instead of feeding it back into the grid - typically at a low feed-in tariff. This energy can then be used in the evening instead of buying power back at a higher price.
These hybrid systems are quite sophisticated. They are fully programmable and our in-house designers can custom engineer a system which will provide a smart combination of all the energy sources available to you, giving you a strategic advantage in the reliability, cost and environmental impact of electricity usage.
Providing Uninterruptible Power
Buying a hybrid system from Going Solar will mean that when the grid fails, your system will keep going. Our hybrid systems are able to disconnect from the network in the event of a grid interruption (when a standard solar system would shut down). You will be able to continue to run certain appliances from your batteries (and solar during sunlight hours).
Allowing you to outsmart the Utilities
A hybrid system can ‘load shift’. This means that the energy that you generate during the day is not wastefully fed back into the grid with minimal financial return to you. The energy is stored and can be used in the evening or whenever you like.
