As electricity prices continue to rise and grid supply remains unstable, more Nigerian households are seeking smarter and more efficient ways to power their homes. A hybrid solar system—which combines solar energy, battery storage, and grid power, is becoming the go-to solution. LuxpowerTek’s hybrid inverters are helping Nigerian families achieve real savings through flexible operation and intelligent energy control.

1. How Does a Hybrid System Work?

A hybrid solar system automatically switches between three energy sources:

• During the day: solar energy powers the home and charges the battery
• At night or peak hours: battery supplies power
• When the battery is low: the grid kicks in as backup

This approach minimizes grid reliance during peak tariff periods, significantly lowering utility bills.

2. How Luxpower Hybrid Inverters Reduce Energy Costs

① Time-of-Use Charging Mode

Luxpower inverters feature built-in TOU (Time-of-Use) functionality. Users can set charge and discharge schedules based on tariff zones, such as:

• Charging batteries during off-peak hours;
• Discharging during expensive peak periods.

This results in noticeable savings on electricity bills.

② AI Smart Mode for Automation

With AI-based load optimization, the system can automatically decide when to charge or discharge batteries based on usage history, electricity cost, and PV output—no manual setup needed.

③ Generator and Solar Integration

Many Nigerian homes rely on diesel generators. Luxpower inverters can integrate seamlessly with generators to charge batteries and maintain home power, reducing diesel use and noise.

④ Multiple Operation Modes

Choose between Battery First, Load Priority, Economic Mode, or AC First to match different scenarios like residential, small business, or off-grid farms.

3. Real Feedback: Up to 30% Cost Reduction

After installing an GEN2-LB-EU 12K hybrid inverter, Mr. Musa from Abuja paired his rooftop 6kWp PV system with a 10kWh battery. His monthly electricity cost dropped from ₦38,000 to ₦26,000. “It switches to solar automatically, even runs my AC during the day without worries,” he said.
