In a DC-coupled setup, solar panels are directly connected to a hybrid inverter that handles both the DC to AC conversion and the charging of the battery storage from the DC output of the solar panels.

The DC output of the battery is bucked or boosted according to the requirement and then converted into AC using a DC-AC inverter. The function of an inverter is to change a dc input voltage to a symmetric ac output voltage of desired magnitude and frequency.

In the past decade, the implementation of battery energy storage systems (BESS) with a modular design has grown significantly, proving to be highly advantageous for large-scale grid-tied applicatio.

In AC-coupled systems, solar electricity is converted multiple times before reaching your battery, while DC-coupled systems take a more direct route with fewer conversions. Both approaches have pros and cons depending on your specific needs and installation circumstances.
