Backup inverter vs hybrid solar

Backup inverter vs hybrid solar — what Papakura property owners need to know:

• Backup only — lowest cost, no daytime generation, right for outage protection.
• Hybrid — panels + battery: higher upfront, cuts monthly bills.
• Generator — best for high-load properties; fuel cost ongoing.

Decide by answering

• What is your primary goal: outage protection or bill savings?
• Roof space and sun exposure at the property.
• Budget horizon — payback on hybrid is typically 4-7 years.
