South Africans are currently facing endless loadshedding and unexpected power cuts as a result of energy generation shortage and constant power station failures. Synergy Energy provides a feasible solution to overcome power failures – keeping the lights on at home or your workplace. Hybrid solar system solutions can act as a property’s uninterrupted power supply to generate and store electricity by utilising PV solar arrays and battery banks. Today, we will look at how such a system works and be beneficial for your household/business.

The Setup of a Hybrid Solar System

This is a grid-tied system – meaning that they still rely on the main power grid and should not be considered as an off-grid solution. The property’s DB board connects to an inverter that regulates the flow of electricity between the main grid, PV solar arrays, and battery bank. In return, the DB board provides electricity to essential and non-essential loads in your household/business.

How Does a Hybrid Solar System Operate?

During the day – when the PV solar arrays can generate electricity from sunlight – both the main grid and solar arrays feed into the inverter. From here, the electric current is split into 2 paths – charging the battery bank and feeding both essential and non-essential loads. Should the grid fail during the day, the PV arrays will be the only source of electricity. In this case, the inverter will also utilise the built-up charge from the battery bank to provide electricity to the DB board. At night – When the PV arrays do not generate any electricity – a hybrid solar system relies on the main grid to provide electricity to the DB board. The inverter also sends electric current to the battery bank for charging. If the power fails at night, the system will solely rely on the battery bank to provide electricity to the DB board.

The Benefits of a Hybrid Solar System

One of the biggest benefits of a hybrid solar system is the simple fact that such a system can deliver uninterrupted energy to your household/business. This system can also integrate a generator for even more effective energy solutions. It offers efficient energy solutions to protect your household appliances from energy surges that could cause damage and lead to even bigger problems.

Are you tired of dealing with constant loadshedding and unexpected power cuts/failures? Synergy Energy is your solar energy provider in South Africa! We offer custom grid-tied, hybrid, and off-grid solar system solutions to install a system that will suit your energy needs – whether it is at home or your business. Today, we will discuss the various solar systems and their functionality for your property. Grid-Tied and Hybrid Solar Systems Grid-tied solar systems’ primary purpose is to save you money on your monthly electricity bill – above all else. When such a system incorporates a battery bank and/or generator, it becomes a hybrid solar system that can provide and generate electricity when the main power grid fails. These systems are ideal for small businesses and household needs – providing electricity to both essential and non-essential loads as required. Off-Grid Solar System Solutions As part of our wholistic energy solutions, Synergy Energy also provides off-grid solar system solutions that do not rely on the main power grid for energy generation and electricity. Off-grid solar systems utilise a PV solar array, battery bank, and a generator to generate and store energy and maintain a steady stream of electricity being fed into the DB board. As a result, you can say goodbye to unexpected power failures, loadshedding, and your monthly municipal electricity bill! Utilising Smart and Efficient Energy Solutions for Your Household/Business Over the past couple of years, the municipal energy supply in South Africa has struggled with several setbacks and unexpected challenges – leading to ongoing loadshedding to maintain the available energy supply. South Africans have seen months of endless loadshedding, which is where our wholistic energy solutions come into the picture. With us in your corner, you can forget about loadshedding and sitting without electricity at home or your place of work. PV solar arrays are more affordable than ever before – utilised around the world to deliver a cleaner and more efficient method of generating electricity for properties. Our selection of wholistic energy solutions will give you the means to be unaffected by power grid failures and keep the lights on throughout such failures.

Loadshedding and power failures are common in South Africa – leaving us with no electricity at home and/or the workplace. As a result, people are turning to alternative power generation to maintain an electricity supply when the main grid fails. If you are looking for a Hybrid Solar System in South Africa, Synergy Energy is your solution! We offer grid-tied, off-grid, and hybrid solar system solutions for your home or place of business. Today, we will discuss hybrid systems and the smart way that these systems can keep the lights on.

What is a Hybrid Solar System?

A hybrid solar system utilises several power generation and storage elements to provide electricity to essential and non-essential loads. Such a system comprises of a PV (photo-voltaic) solar array, a lithium-ion battery bank, and an inverter to regulate and convert electric current. It can also be complemented by a generator to serve as backup energy generation in case the battery bank is depleted and there is no direct sunlight for the PV array to generate electricity.

How Does a Hybrid Solar System Operate?

During daytime – when the PV array delivers optimal energy generation – and with a stable grid, the mains and the PV array will feed electric current into the hybrid inverter. From there, the inverter relays electric current to the DB board and the lithium-ion battery bank. The bank builds up charge while the DB board provides electricity to both essential and non-essential loads. Should the main grid fail throughout daytime, the system will rely on the PV array to generate electric current, as well as rely on the reserves from the battery bank. The PV array and battery bank provides sufficient electricity to power essential loads, while non-essential loads will not receive any electricity. Some of the generated current from the PV array will be fed back into the battery bank to keep up reserves. At night, the PV array will not receive any sunlight. Therefore, the hybrid solar system will only rely on the main grid. The inverter splits the electric current from the main grid to charge the battery bank and provide electricity to the DB board, which feeds both essential and non-essential loads. During grid failure at night, the system will provide electricity from the battery bank to power essential loads. Synergy Energy is your answer to Hybrid Solar System in South Africa!
