Due to the continuous increase in prices, a Hybrid inverter is now a crucial necessity for both residential and commercial properties. The primary step involves supplying power to regular loads while simultaneously charging the battery. Once the battery is fully charged, it is advisable to utilize the maximum load during the day when solar power is being generated. Timer switches can be used to ensure a permanent setup. Depending on the load of your appliances, you can power up a few appliances at a time and direct power to them.
For residential properties, timer switches are used for geysers, pool pumps, and borehole pumps. It is also recommended to do laundry and ironing during this time.
For commercial properties, most work can be done during the daytime, with some machines being operational during the day. The battery will supply power to your property at night. By adjusting your property's load to daytime, you can reduce the nighttime load, thus requiring a smaller battery capacity to run the load at night.
To configure your inverter as described above, you need to modify the battery charging and discharging time slots. In certain situations, you may need to reserve a portion of the battery charge to power the property during load shedding. If load shedding occurs during the day, the system may not use the battery if the load is less than the solar power generation, allowing you to easily manage long hours of power cuts during the day.
