Hybrid Solar Systems
Hybrid Solar Systems
A Hybrid Solar System is designed to produce and store energy for later use, combining solar panels and batteries to create an efficient, self-sustaining power solution. This system seamlessly integrates with the grid to provide backup energy when needed, without any manual intervention from the property owner. The system is managed by an intelligent energy management system that monitors energy usage and controls when to charge or discharge the batteries, balancing household power needs with grid backup

Hybrid Solar Systems in Cairns and Surrounding Areas
Efficient, Reliable, and Sustainable Energy Solutions
A hybrid solar system combines solar power and battery storage to provide a reliable, off-grid solution that optimises your energy usage. At Platypus Power, we specialise in designing and installing hybrid solar systems in Cairns and surrounding areas, offering homeowners and businesses the ability to reduce energy costs, increase energy independence, and enjoy uninterrupted power.
How Do Hybrid Solar Systems Work?
A hybrid solar system integrates solar panels and battery storage to create a self-sufficient energy solution:
✅ Solar Panels – Generate clean, renewable energy from the sun during the day
✅ Battery Storage – Stores excess energy for use at night or during periods of low sunlight
These systems come with an intelligent energy management system that automatically balances battery levels, household power usage, and solar energy to ensure you’re always using the most efficient energy source. The system adapts in real-time to maximise energy savings without any input from the homeowner.
