A solar hybrid system is a system which combines solar power from a photovoltaic system with energy coming from another source. These systems are built in a way which can help to solve the common problems of renewable energy systems. A common version of a solar hybrid system consists of an electric wind turbine, solar photovoltaic modules, a battery bank, electronic controllers and a diesel run engine generator.
Five main advantages or benefits emanating from the use of solar hybrid system Dublin are:
- Like all other renewable sources of energy, a solar hybrid system gives you independence from power networks. It is particularly more empowering for a user because dependence is not created on one source. You can use the solar power you have generated or adhere to the conventional methods of sending solar power back to the main grid. As a consumer, you are self sufficient and do not have to wait for the power companies’ control over your home or office. You can create your own energy whether it is sunny or not. You will be free from power blackouts and it does not matter what the fuel and electricity rates are.
- In rural areas, off-grid parcels of systems of these kinds are cheaper as compared to on-grid systems. It is also cheaper than getting a utility line connected to your home.
- These systems give higher returns from solar panel installations. You can store the excess power and save money by utilizing it later when you need it rather than send the power back to the grid.
- A solar hybrid system does not need a back-up generator and the user is in charge of downsizing the battery bank. This means that such hybrid systems will obviously be less expensive than off-grid systems.
- Above everything else, a solar hybrid system is greatly beneficial to those who care about the environment but find it difficult to compromise with their regular lifestyle. It helps you to think about your energy consumptions habits and thus creates and spreads more awareness. You are in charge of saving and creating energy and thus, you are more likely to save it and note its usage patterns.
To make the most of solar hybrid systems at your home, you can think of insulating it and installing energy efficient doors and windows.
