Quality Hybrid Energy Systems in Tucson
Trust Our Southern AZ Hybrid Energy Systems Residential & Commercial Installers
Are you torn between choosing an off-grid generator versus a grid-tie? What if you didn’t have to choose? We have the perfect solution—a hybrid solar system. The hybrid systems give you the best of both worlds. This generator consists of a grid-tie inverter and a battery bank. The inverter transforms the sunlight into electricity, which can keep the battery bank charged. When the grid is down, the battery can supply power. Additionally, if available, net metering can allow property owners to receive credit for surplus energy.
Common equipment for hybrid solar systems include:
- Battery Bank
- Charge Controller
- Power Meter
- Battery-Based Grid-Tie Inverter

For people "starting from zero" this was a huge help to us.
“Katharine - Thanks to you and the team for getting our solar set up promptly and professionally. I don't have enough good things to say about Kevin, the teams who conducted the installations, and your own involvement. All our friends who got solar done (or tried) have horror stories about scams and unprofessional behavior; it put us off from trying this for a while. We were at first relieved and then very happy. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, professional and knowledgeable about the process, technology and government requirements. For people "starting from zero" this was a huge help to us.”- JDC
