There are two main ways to connect a battery to your solar system: DC Coupling, where your solar panels and battery share a single hybrid inverter. This energy is then transformed into alternating current (AC) electricity, which is what's used to power most of your home's appliances. Solar batteries store electricity in DC form. To. . Battery coupling refers to the method by which batteries are integrated with solar inverters to store excess energy generated by solar panels.
