Hybrid solar systems generate power in the same way as a common grid-tie solar system but use special hybrid inverters and batteries to store energy for later use. This ability to store energy enables most hybrid systems to also operate as a backup power supply during a blackout, similar to a UPS system.
A hybrid solar panel is the combination of thermal and photovoltaic technologies in a single module; In front of the photovoltaic and thermal panels that, conventionally, are installed separately, emerges the hybrid solar panel, capable of simultaneously generating electricity and heat
