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.
