Hybrid Solar power systems

A combination of Solar power with grid electricity, Wind power or Gasoline generator

How the system works

This system combines solar PV power with battery storage and it interacts with electricity grid or wind power or buck-up generator or a combination of both power sources to provide uninterruptible power supply. The battery bank stores unused excess power from solar or wind which is used at night or during bad weather when either sources is available. When the stored energy is depleted and solar power of wind power in unavailable, the grid or buck-up generator is there as a backup power source.

Advantages
  • Allows storage excess solar or wind energy for use during periods of no generation.

  • Allows use of stored solar energy during peak evening times (known as self-use or load-shifting)

  • Backup power capability resulting in uninterruptible power supply.

  • Reduces power consumption from the grid reducing electricity bill.

  • Enables advanced energy management (ie. peak shaving)

Disadvantages
  • Higher cost. Mainly due to the high cost of batteries.

  • Longer payback time – Higher return on investment.

  • More complex installation requires more room and higher install cost.

  • Backup power may limit how many appliances you can run at the same time (depending on the type of hybrid inverter and its capability)

Hybrid solar power system comes in following combinations:

Solar Power + Grid Electricity

Suitable for homes and business connected to the power grid.




Solar Power +Wind Power

Suitable in remote areas away from the power grid with sustainable wind resources



Solar Power + Diesel Generator

Suitable in remote areas away from the power grid with critical loads such as hospitals



Solar Power + Grid Electricity + Wind Power

Suitable for homes and business connected to the power grid with sustainable wind resources such along the beach

Solar Power + Wind Power + Diesel Generator

Suitable for remote areas with sustainable wind resources but with critical loads such as telecommunications base stations

Solar Power + Wind Power + Grid power + Diesel Generator

Suitable for areas connected to grid power with sustainable wind resources but with critical loads such as telecommunications base stations
