What is a Hybrid Inverter?
A hybrid inverter is the brain of your solar energy system.
It manages energy coming from your solar panels, distributes it to your home or business, and can store extra energy in batteries – either right away or later when you’re ready.
Unlike traditional inverters, hybrid inverters are designed for future proofing. That means you can start with a grid-tie system, and add battery backup down the road without needing to replace your inverter.
What is a Micro Inverter?
A micro inverter is a small device installed on each solar panel. It converts the DC power your panel produces into AC power right at the source. This setup helps maximize output from each panel – especially useful when panels are affected by shade or facing different directions.
Micro inverters are simple and reliable, but they don’t support battery storage or system-wide energy management. They’re best for small, straightforward grid-tie systems where future expandability isn’t a priority.
What is a String Inverter?
A string inverter connects a group – or “string” – of solar panels to a single central inverter. It converts the combined DC output into usable AC power for your home or business. String inverters are cost-effective and commonly used in standard residential and commercial solar setups.
String inverters can’t manage batteries and aren’t ideal for shaded roofs or complex layouts. Compared to hybrid models, string inverters offer less flexibility and no smart energy features.

Can I Add Batteries to My Solar System Later?
Yes!
That’s one of the biggest advantages of a hybrid inverter. With Megarevo, you can start with a grid-tie setup, and when the time is right, easily add battery backup for energy independence, backup power, or off-grid living. This staged approach makes solar more accessible and affordable over time.
Are Hybrid Inverters Worth The Investment?
If you want a flexible, cost-efficient, and future-ready solar setup, hybrid inverters are absolutely worth it – especially if battery backup is something you’re considering later on. They’re ideal for Canadians who want to keep their options open and reduce reliance on the grid and utility companies.
