Unlocking the benefits of GoodWe hybrid and ongrid inverters

29 November 2024

In the world of solar energy systems, two inverter configurations seem to stand out from the rest as being the most popular, especially in Pakistan. The first is on-grid, colloquially known as an on-grid solar energy inverter, whereas the second one is the hybrid solar inverter. Given the general lack of information around these two configurations and what exactly they mean, let us, in this blog, explain the difference between on-grid and hybrid, and how you can unlock the many benefits of both hybrid and on-grid inverters from GoodWe, the premier manufacturer of solar energy equipment, primarily, solar inverters in Pakistan, supplied by ZNC Solar.

Whether it’s the best on-grid solar inverter or the best hybrid solar inverter that you want, ZNC Solar has the most extensive selection of the best GoodWe inverters in Pakistan. From its HT series to the purpose-built commercial inverters, explore from a vast catalogue of the best solar energy equipment in Pakistan and select yours to truly experience the best of solar energy.

On-grid vs hybrid solar inverters: the differences

The basic difference between on-grid inverters and hybrid inverters in general is the way that these systems, and by extension, these inverters operate. As their name suggests, both are connected to the grid; the only system unique enough to operate completely without any input from the grid is called an off-grid system. But let’s look at the general configuration of the inverters and understand how each works before we understand what GoodWe brings to the table in terms of benefits.

On-grid inverters

On-grid inverters are designed to work in tandem with the grid, combining both the energy from the grid and the solar panels to provide access to a mix of energy that supplements the household. Given the requirements of this particular configuration, on-grid inverters are not designed to operate with battery power and therefore, are not of much use in blackout conditions when grid power isn’t available.

Hybrid inverters

Hybrid inverters, much like their configuration, are the jack of all trades and work by combining the input from the solar panels, the grid, and the battery to provide uninterrupted access to energy. Since these inverters efficiently deal with energy from three different sources, hybrid inverters are extremely robust, long-lasting, and very efficient, resulting in a price point that far exceeds that of its on-grid counterpart. That being said, hybrid inverters also represent the best of what solar energy has to offer: by combining three different sources of energy, they ensure unbridled access to energy that can power an entire premises even on solar energy alone.

What does GoodWe do better than all in terms of inverters?

When it comes to GoodWe solar inverters, you can expect a few things that blow the competition out of the water and make GoodWe, and by extension, ZNC Solar, the one solar energy equipment supplier in Pakistan that offers an exemplary selection of the best hybrid and on-grid inverters. Here is a quick overview of these advantages.

Efficiency

The product range is proof that GoodWe prioritises efficiency overall, and all of their inverters maximise operational efficiency unlike any other solar inverter currently being offered. Most inverters from the GoodWe brand boast DC input oversizing of up to 150 per cent, while the AC output overloading is now boosted up to 115 per cent, up from 110 per cent. Their inverters also boast a maximum efficiency of up to 99 per cent, making them the most efficient and amazing solar inverters available for commercial and residential applications.

Protection

Given the supercharged job of the solar inverter and the fact that it is responsible for converting the entire output of the solar panels into usable energy, the inverter needs safeguards against energy spikes, temperature ups and downs as well as against surges in energy generation that may otherwise affect the long-term performance of the solar inverter. Seeing how this may cause an issue, GoodWe has integrated a bevy of security and protection features in its inverters, starting with the AC overcurrent protection and the short circuit protection.

Miscellaneous features

GoodWe solar inverters also come with a host of other features that make them the best solar inverters for sale in Pakistan. Starting with some of their more unique features, the inverters have string-level monitoring and power line communication, and boast high-level robustness that allow them to remain operational at full-load capacity even at the harsh temperature of 50 degrees Celsius, making them very robust and well-built inverters.
