Solar-Hybrid vs. Standard Mini Splits

A standard mini split uses an AC electrical connection. A Photon AC solar-hybrid mini split can accept DC power from a compatible rooftop solar array and can also use an AC connection when configured for hybrid operation. The direct-solar design does not require a separate string inverter or battery bank. Actual operation depends on system configuration, available sunlight, panel placement, electrical design, and the installed model.
