Hybrid system
This type of solar system is a combination of a grid-connected and an off-grid system. It can be either independent or connected to the grid.
Main features
In structure, this system is very similar to the autonomous system, because its components are almost the same. It consists of the following components:
- Photovoltaic panels
- Solar controller
- Battery pack
- Hybrid inverter
- Switchboard
Advantages of hybrid photovoltaic systems
Most often, the hybrid photovoltaic system is for your own needs, i.e. when you want to use the energy produced to cover your own consumption. At the same time, you also have the security of the grid so that you are not left without power. It can be set up in many different ways – to give the surplus to the grid or not to give it. Also, in the absence of a grid, it can be combined with a diesel generator to supplement the system when needed. It can be set to start automatically when the batteries are weak and so you do not have to worry about the system at all – everything is automated!
Sizing this system is a complex process, just like with an autonomous system, and depends on many factors – whether the system will be used year-round or seasonally, the power of the electrical appliances, how many hours a day they will operate, the location of the system, and many others.
But unlike the autonomous system, it is not critical if the hybrid system cannot provide the necessary energy at a given time, because then the backup power source – a network or a generator – comes to the rescue.
The system can be used for practically everything – video surveillance, park and street lighting, household, agricultural needs, and many others.
Useful
It should be borne in mind that although it sounds the most attractive as a structure, because it has the ability to store energy and release it when there is no sun, this functionality also comes with its price. Hybrid systems use a different type of inverter than those in grid-connected systems, which are more expensive due to the large number of options and functions. The system also has batteries, which should not be forgotten as consumables. If you opt for very high-end batteries, they can last over 10 years, but then the initial investment will be much larger.
For the time being, we personally recommend this type of system in the following cases and situations:
- Places with unstable power supply (frequent power outages)
- Places with poor network performance (low or high voltage)
- Places with a current mode
- Places where there is no power supply, but there is some type of backup power supply (generator)
