Angle: When paying for a hybrid inverter + battery genuinely pays off.
This guide must answer: - What does a hybrid system add over grid-tied? - What's the real cost premium (unsubsidised battery)? - For whom does daily power-cut backup justify it? - Why specify a hybrid inverter even if adding the battery later?
Writing rules: answer the question in the first two sentences, put a real number in the opening paragraph, name the specific city or DISCOM where the answer varies, and link to two related guides and the relevant category page.
Verify before publishing: Battery costs; keep consistent with the power-cut and off-grid guides.
