The hybrid inverter manages both the panels and the battery in the same device: it converts the solar energy, stores the surplus and releases it in the evening. Ideal for self-consumption, and able to provide backup in case of an outage. wendows installs and configures this equipment, and stays your single point of contact for warranty and after-sales service.
The hybrid goes further than a simple converter: it drives storage and self-consumption. Here are the uses we set up most often in Belgium, to be framed during the survey.
The day's surplus production is stored in the battery instead of being fed back to the grid, then released in the evening. You consume more of your own solar energy.
Depending on the configuration, the hybrid can power certain circuits from the battery during a grid outage. A valuable safeguard for essential uses.
You can install the hybrid without a battery at first, then add storage later without replacing the inverter. A logic that protects the initial investment.
A benchmark for the residential hybrid inverter, paired with the LUNA2000 battery and supervised by FusionSolar. A coherent, well-documented pairing.
Beyond the principle, it is the integrated battery management that gives the hybrid its value. The benchmarks to know before choosing, set out by our teams.
The hybrid manages the solar energy and the battery in the same device, where a classic setup separates inverter and charger. Simplified wiring and coherent control of storage.
The power is sized relative to the panels and the target battery capacity. We set this pairing during the survey to neither under- nor over-size the installation.
Conversion efficiency stays high, as on a string inverter. Managing the battery's charge/discharge adds fine-grained control of self-consumption.
Manufacturer's warranty on the inverter, often extendable, with a dedicated warranty on the battery modules. wendows handles the liaison and the intervention.
Real-time tracking of production, self-consumption and battery state via the app. Storage control is visible and adjustable, which makes remote after-sales service easier.
This is the hybrid's whole purpose: it manages the battery natively, ideally of the same brand for a coherent pairing. You can plan for storage from the start or add it later.

A poorly configured hybrid inverter does not tap the self-consumption potential. Our teams install, pair the battery and configure the hybrid according to the manufacturer's rules, then handle monitoring, warranty and after-sales service directly.
The hybrid makes full sense if storage is part of the project. Without a battery, other architectures may be enough. Compare, then we decide together during the survey.

See solar panels →A classic inverter converts the solar energy into usable current, but the surplus production goes to the grid. The hybrid inverter goes further: it also manages a battery. The day's surplus is stored, then released in the evening, when the panels no longer produce. The result: you consume more of your own energy.
It is the go-to architecture as soon as storage is part of the project. Everything is brought together in a single device: solar conversion, battery charge and discharge, self-consumption control. Depending on the configuration, the hybrid can also power certain circuits during a grid outage — a valuable backup.
"The hybrid is the inverter that does not just convert: it decides when to store and when to release your energy.
The hybrid also has the advantage of being upgradable. You can install it without a battery at first, to add storage later without replacing the inverter. This is where our role as installer matters: we size the inverter/battery pairing, set the self-consumption and backup modes, and remain your single point of contact for warranty and after-sales service.
Two functions, a single device. Solar conversion and battery management combined in the hybrid inverter: less wiring, coherent control and optimised self-consumption.
On the budget side, the hybrid sits above a simple string inverter, since it integrates battery management. The difference is justified by self-consumption and backup. To get a sense of your project, start from our price page, then request a detailed quote including the inverter and the battery.
The price of a hybrid depends on its power and the battery it is paired with — not just the brand. Here are starting ranges for equipment installed by our teams, subsidies and reduced VAT applied afterwards.

It is an inverter that manages both the solar panels and a battery in a single device. It converts the solar energy, stores the surplus in the battery and releases it later. A classic setup, by contrast, separates the inverter and the battery charger.
No. You can install a hybrid inverter without a battery at first, then add storage later without replacing the inverter. It is even an advantage: you fit your installation for the future while spreading out the investment.
Depending on the configuration and the paired battery, the hybrid can power certain essential circuits from the battery during a grid outage (backup function). The exact scope of the backed-up circuits is defined during the survey.
The hybrid answers the need for storage: it manages panels and battery for self-consumption. The micro-inverter answers the need for panel-by-panel optimisation, especially in case of shading. These are two different logics, which we settle according to your project.
Depending on the model, the manufacturer's warranty on the inverter can go up to 10 years, often extendable, with a dedicated warranty on the battery modules. wendows handles the liaison and the intervention. The exact conditions are stated on your quote.
Expect from around €1,800 for the installed hybrid inverter, excluding battery. Storage adds from ~€4,500 for a first module. It all depends on the power and the capacity, with subsidies and 6% VAT deducted afterwards.
