Background:
The solar hybrid inverter represents a pivotal advancement in renewable energy technology,
merging the capabilities of traditional grid-connected inverters with solar power systems. It
serves as the linchpin in harnessing solar energy and seamlessly integrating it into existing
electrical grids. Unlike standalone solar inverters, hybrid variants offer versatility by enabling
both grid-tied and off-grid operation modes, along with battery storage integration. This
innovation addresses the intermittency of solar power generation, ensuring a stable and reliable
energy supply. Hybrid inverters intelligently manage power flow, optimizing consumption from
solar panels, batteries, and the grid based on demand and availability. Their sophisticated control
algorithms maximize energy utilization and minimize reliance on conventional grid sources, thus
promoting sustainability and cost savings. In laboratory settings, understanding the intricacies of
hybrid inverter operation elucidates the transformative potential of renewable energy systems in
mitigating environmental impact and fostering energy independence.

PROCEDURE:
Assemble the circuit according to circuit diagram and take the reading of input voltage current load
voltages and currents and battery voltages and current and record observation. First of all connect only
grid and take reading that are required next connect the solar panel and repeat the process . Then
make a hybrid connection of solar and grid and connect the batter and record observation.
