Do you need a solution to overcome constant loadshedding and unexpected power cuts? Synergy Energy is your answer to a wide range of solar systems to accommodate your needs! Our solutions include grid-tied, off-grid, and hybrid solar system setups to ensure that your home or place of business will have a fitting system to rely on when the power eventually fails. Today, we will discuss a hybrid solar system and how this type of system can work to your benefit.

How Does a Hybrid Solar System Work?

A hybrid solar system utilises a PV solar array that is connected to an inverter, along with a lithium-ion battery bank and a connection to the main power grid. During the day, the main grid and the PV solar array feeds energy into the inverter, from where the inverter relates the power to the DB board and charges the battery bank. Should the main grid fail during the day, the inverter will rely on the solar panels to generate electricity and make up any deficit by tapping into the battery bank. At night, a hybrid solar system does not rely on the solar panels for electricity generation and feeds off the main grid to provide power to the DB board and charge the battery bank. Should the main grid fail at night, the system will solely rely on the battery bank to provide electricity to the DB board. As a result, you can expect less energy consumption from the main grid – decreasing your monthly utility bill and giving you a smart solution to efficient energy usage at home or your place of business.

Your Solution to Overcome an Energy Shortage

With no end in sight for regular loadshedding in South Africa, people and businesses are turning to alternative means of electricity generation to overcome this energy shortage. With a Hybrid Solar Systems in SA, the main grid is still in play to charge the battery bank and deliver electricity when it is functional. However, when it fails, there are provisions to generate and provide electricity with the PV solar array and the battery bank’s charge. Therefore, you can reliably avoid unexpected power cuts and power surges that could cause damage to your electrical appliances and devices, and keep on schedule with your regular daily routine. When you need a smart solution to overcome loadshedding, Synergy Energy is your answer to off-grid, grid-tied, and Hybrid Solar Systems in SA!

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.

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!
