    Hi i have started a new feed as suggested, i previously contacted you i have 4 x 250w panels i would like to build a small hybrid system for my wife's dog grooming room.
    i am thinking of purchasing a hybrid controller

    would this work with my panels

    The solar portion of the charging circuitry is a PWM type controller. That being said I'm guessing your 250 watt panels are 60 cell panels. They aren't true 24 volt panels. You need 72 cell panels or a MPPT charge controller to use those panels with that inverter.

      if by hybrid system, you mean something with batteries, you will loose money. Batteries are 10x as expensive as the power they can store. The best bet is to Grid-InterTie your panels to your grid.

        It should work with your panels but you will need a battery system. Also as littleharbor stated the charge controller may only be a PWM type which would reduce your useful panel wattage by at least 33%.

        I would keep researching for a hybrid unit that will utilize 100% of your 1000 watt input to charge a compatible battery system.
