LMS Electrical in-house electrician installing a hybrid solar inverter and battery system for a residential home in South East Queensland.

Standard solar only works half the time. The grid takes the rest.

Most Solar Companies Don't Even Install Their Own Systems. We Do.

You didn't invest in solar just to rely on a fragile grid. Without a hybrid inverter and battery storage, your energy "independence" is an illusion that disappears the moment a storm hits Springwood or the Gold Coast. Most standard systems are legally required to shut down during a blackout—leaving you with no power despite having a roof full of panels.

Here is what real independence looks like for your home:

  • Total Blackout Protection: You never have to play the "waiting game" with the grid. When the power fails, your hybrid system automatically switches to stored battery power in milliseconds, keeping your essential appliances running.
  • Zero-Waste Energy: Standard solar often sends your excess power back to the grid for a measly credit. A hybrid system stores that power for you to use at night when electricity rates are at their highest, effectively "hacking" your bill to zero.
  • Future-Ready Infrastructure: You aren't just buying a battery; you're installing the brain of your home. Our hybrid setups are designed to integrate seamlessly with EV chargers and smart home tech, ensuring your property is ready for the energy demands of tomorrow.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.

What is a hybrid solar system?
A hybrid solar system combines solar panels with battery storage and remains connected to the grid. Unlike a standard grid-tied system, a hybrid setup uses a special hybrid inverter that can manage solar generation, battery charging, grid export, and backup power all at once. This means you get the best of both worlds—solar savings during the day, stored energy at night, and grid backup when you need it.
Will a hybrid system keep my power on during a blackout?
Yes. One of the biggest advantages of a hybrid solar system is blackout protection. When the grid goes down, your hybrid inverter automatically switches to battery power in milliseconds, keeping your essential appliances running. Standard grid-tied solar systems are legally required to shut down during a blackout, but a hybrid system with battery backup keeps you powered.
How is a hybrid system different from a standard solar system with a battery?
The key difference is the inverter. A hybrid inverter is an all-in-one unit that manages solar, battery, and grid power simultaneously. With a standard system, you would need a separate solar inverter and a separate battery inverter, which adds cost and complexity. A hybrid system is more efficient, more compact, and future-ready—designed from the ground up to handle battery storage and even EV charger integration.
Can I add a battery to my existing solar system?
In many cases, yes. If your existing system has a hybrid inverter, adding a battery is straightforward. If you have a standard string inverter, we can either retrofit a compatible battery system or upgrade your inverter to a hybrid unit. During our free consultation, we assess your current setup and recommend the most cost-effective path to battery storage.
How much can I save with a hybrid solar system?
A hybrid system maximises your savings by storing excess solar energy instead of exporting it to the grid for a low feed-in tariff. By using your stored energy at night when electricity rates are at their peak, many of our customers see their electricity bills reduced to near zero. The exact savings depend on your energy usage, system size, and battery capacity, which we calculate during our initial assessment.
Do you use sub-contractors or your own team?
We do not use sub-contractors. Unlike many other solar companies that act as sales agencies and farm out the work, LMS Electrical is a team of fully qualified, in-house electricians. From the first design consultation to the final installation and safety check, you are dealing with genuine LMS employees who take pride in their workmanship.
What brands of hybrid inverters and batteries do you install?
We are brand agnostic but quality obsessed. We partner with reputable, industry-leading brands like Sungrow, Fronius, Sigenergy, and Tesla. We only install products that have a proven track record of reliability and support in Australia, ensuring you get a hybrid system that performs for decades, not just years.
How long does a hybrid solar installation take?
For most residential properties, our team can complete a full hybrid solar and battery installation in one to two days. This includes mounting the panels, installing the hybrid inverter and battery, upgrading the switchboard if needed, and commissioning the entire system. We always ensure the site is left clean and tidy before we leave.
