Frequently asked questions
-
Not at all. Many hybrid systems are still grid-tied but include solar, batteries, or generators to provide resilience and lower energy costs.
-
A hybrid system typically includes solar, battery storage, grid power and even a generator, all working together. Solar-only systems don’t store energy or offer backup or any dynamic automation
-
It helps, but it’s not required. I’ll walk you through how to think about your usage, and we can estimate based on your lifestyle and appliances.
-
Absolutely! That is the beauty about Hybrid System, it can be 100% modular. We will discuss phased approaches so you can start small and expand as your budget or needs grow.
-
Yes—especially in areas with high utility rates or time-of-use billing. With solar you are generating your own power and not paying the utility company. Plus, they add resilience during outages and protect against costly disruptions.
-
I’ll go over any available programs in your region that could help offset your costs—many clients are eligible for thousands in rebates.
