Just because it's a hybrid doesn't make it amazing. It needs to be designed well. Hybrid just happens to be a good way to design a large amplifier. But you can also use a pure digital design. In theory, it is better than hybrid if you're starting with a digital source.
It is not fair to compare hybrid cars/bicycles to hybrid digital amplifiers. Both are known as hybrids as they combine two technologies to make the best of them, but that's about it. How they combine the technologies is not even similar. A hybrid car or bicycle is more or less a regular car or bicycle with an electrical drive system added to it. A hybrid digital amplifier, however, is not merely a digital amplifier with some analog circuits or an analog amplifier with some digital circuits. It uses an output stage very similar to that of a digital, but the circuit driving it is very unlike the ones in either digital or analog. It is really a completely different technology.
Solar power is something else that will help. It's just another way to show that you're going green.

I've been married thirteen years now, the missus STILL can't redirect my pre-amp sources. So...keep it extremely simple ON/OFF, Volume..that's about it....any more controls & they get flustered.."Can you turn it on for me?"

I would suggest adding a RS-485 control bus so source devices can select the correct channel automatically. Or build a complete media machine with touchscreen where all you have to do is turn it on and make a few simple selections.
