Ideal for grid-uncertain situations, a hybrid inverter is primarily used for grid-tie (selling back to the utility company) purposes, but they can also provide backup power to your home when the electric utility fails. Customers often use hybrid inverter systems with solar panels to keep the power going during a blackout.
In some cases, hybrid solar power systems will have a generator for as-needed use.
