The DELONG 12kW Single Phase Hybrid Solar Inverter is the intelligent core of your home's energy system. It's a versatile device that not only converts solar panel DC power into usable AC power for your home (grid-tie) but also manages battery storage, allowing you to store surplus solar energy and provide backup power during outages. It acts as an energy management controller, optimizing power flow between solar, battery, and the utility grid.

"Hybrid" means the inverter can perform multiple functions. Unlike traditional string inverters that only connect to the grid, a hybrid inverter can simultaneously:
Convert solar DC power to AC power for immediate use (self-consumption).
Feed excess solar power back to the utility grid (grid-tie).
Charge and discharge a connected battery energy storage system (ESS).
Provide backup power to essential loads during a grid outage.

Yes, the DELONG 12kW Hybrid Inverter can operate as a grid-tied solar inverter without a connected battery. In this configuration, it will convert solar power for your home's immediate consumption or feed it back to the grid. However, to utilize its backup power capabilities and full energy optimization features (like peak shaving), a compatible battery storage system is required.

Absolutely. With a 12kW output, it's ideal for medium to large residential homes with significant energy demands, including EV charging, central air conditioning, and multiple appliances. It's also suitable for many small commercial applications seeking advanced solar integration and energy independence.

The DELONG 12kW Hybrid Inverter is compatible with most standard crystalline silicon solar panels. It features multiple MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) inputs to optimize energy harvest from different panel arrays or orientations. Please refer to the detailed technical specifications for specific voltage and current input ranges.

Our inverter offers broad compatibility with a wide range of leading high-voltage Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery storage systems. We prioritize LiFePO4 for its safety and longevity. Please contact our sales team or refer to our compatibility list for recommended and certified battery partners to ensure optimal integration and performance.

In the event of a grid outage, the DELONG 12kW Hybrid Inverter, when paired with a compatible battery, will automatically and seamlessly switch to backup power within milliseconds. Your home's essential loads will continue to be powered by the battery and, if the sun is shining, your solar panels can continue to generate power to support your home and recharge the battery (known as "PV blackout functionality" or "island mode").

Yes, the DELONG 12kW Inverter is designed with flexibility in mind. You can expand your solar array up to its maximum PV input capacity. For battery storage, you can add compatible battery modules (if your chosen battery system supports modular expansion) to increase your total storage capacity. Please consult with a certified installer for proper system design and expansion.

You can easily monitor and control your entire solar and storage system through the intuitive DELONG App on your smartphone or tablet. The app provides real-time data on solar generation, home consumption, battery status, grid interaction, and allows you to customize energy management modes and receive system alerts.

Yes, due to the high voltage, electrical complexities, and safety regulations involved, professional installation by a certified electrician or a licensed solar installer is mandatory for proper system functioning, warranty validity, and adherence to local electrical codes.
