1. HYD-ES inverter Introduction

The HYD-ES hybrid inverter is used in PV system with battery storage.

Energy produced by the PV system will be optimized for maximum self-consumption.

The HYD-ES inverter can work in auto or time-of-use (TOU) mode, charge / discharge the battery when needed. In auto mode, the HYD-ES inverter will charge surplus PV energy into the battery & discharge battery to supply power to local load when PV energy is not enough.

In case of blackout, HYD-ES inverter can work in Emergency Power Supply (EPS) mode. HYD-ES inverter will utilize power from PV panels & energy stored in the battery to supply power to critical load.
