What is the difference between a hybrid inverter and a grid-tied inverter?

Solar energy is widely used in our lives. People have the option of storing solar energy or supplying power to the city grid. But you need to choose the right solar inverter for it. Nowadays, there are two main types of solar inverters: a hybrid inverter and a grid-tied inverter.

So what is the difference between a hybrid inverter and a grid-tied inverter?

A hybrid inverter is a grid-tied inverter and an off-grid inverter in one.

Off-grid solar inverters are used to store solar and grid power into a battery system. People can use the power from the batteries when there is a power cut in the city grid. Inside the solar inverter, there is a built-in solar charge controller, which we call a hybrid inverter. This means inverter + solar charge controller in two; solar charging + city grid power to charge the battery system. If city grid power is always off and not strong enough in your location, then a hybrid inverter is for you.

Grid-tie inverters do not store electricity in the battery system, but rather deliver solar energy to the city grid. Therefore, the main function of a grid-tie inverter is to deliver solar energy to the city grid. In the process, you can use a meter to calculate how much power to deliver to the city grid so you can make money from the government. Or you can choose not to collect that money and instead lower the cost of the grid. For example, in Malaysia, the city grid is strong enough but not enough power, and then the Malaysian government encourages people to provide solar energy to the grid.
