What is the difference between solar inverter and hybrid inverter?

It is well known that the inverter is designed to convert DC to AC. It is worth noting that to use the panel to generate electric energy, it must be through the solar inverter.
Both solar inverters and hybrid inverters are widely used to convert photovoltaic solar energy into electric energy. Even some hybrid inverters can use solar and wind energy combination, or off-grid and grid-connected combination.
The broad sense of solar inverter we are talking about is not only an inverter. It is not easy to explain its use literally, because there are differences in their scope of use, such as function, structure, technology, and even appearance design.
For example, solar inverters can be pure sine wave inverters/modified sine wave inverters, off-grid solar inverters or grid-connected solar inverters, single-phase solar inverters or three-phase solar inverters, etc.
Therefore, we can simply understand it as the inverter connected to the photovoltaic solar system, that is, the solar inverter.
And it is used in most areas. Solar inverters are more often referred to as battery backup inverters or battery inverters. The electric energy converted from photovoltaic solar energy is stored by the battery pack. After that, all electric energy is supplied to the AC/DC load from the battery end through the connected inverter.
The hybrid inverter is based on the upgrade of solar inverter. It includes the function of solar inverter, converting DC to AC, and adding built-in solar controller, such as MPPT or PWM type. Therefore, to be precise, the hybrid inverter is a solar inverter with a built-in charging controller. It can also be a combination of off-grid inverter and grid-connected inverter in a machine. Its description is the same as what you call hybrid inverter.
