15kVA Hybrid Solar Energy System with 12kWp solar array installation, Fancourt in George.

Specialized Solar Systems residential solar installation team completed a 15kVA Hybrid solar system installation at Fancourt in George.

Designed by Specialized Solar Systems, this Hybrid solar system consisted of:

• 3 x Victron Multiplus II 5kVA 48V Inverters
• 2 x Smart Solar MPPT’s 250/100
• 1 x Freedom Won 20/16 Battery
• 12 kWp total panel output

Some key advantages of Hybrid solar systems supplied and installed by Specialized Solar Systems:

• If the power generated by PV solar arrays is inadequate to supply daytime loads as well as charge your batteries, the system can recharge your batteries from the grid when generally a lower off-peak electricity rate is applied.
• When electricity usage goes above a certain level nationally, the grid supply may charge you at a higher rate for the increased level of demand. Hybrid systems can provide ‘peak lopping’ where some of the stored power can be drawn from the batteries to help balance power usage.
•  If your grid connection does not have the capacity to supply a required load,  a hybrid solar system will supplement any extra power. This may allow you to avoid a costly mains upgrade to your property.

Hybrid solar systems empower you with energy security, self-sufficiency, and lock in your future cost of electricity, control when you use your solar power and provide an uninterrupted power supply.

The utility grid is a virtual battery
Electricity should be used as it is generated. However, it can be temporarily stored as other forms of energy (e.g. chemical energy in batteries).  Energy storage typically comes with significant costs.

The electric power grid is in many ways also a battery, without the need for maintenance or replacements, and with much better efficiency rates. In other words, more electricity (and more money) goes to waste with conventional battery systems.

Additional perks of being grid-tied include access to backup power from the utility grid in case extra power is required or if your solar system stops generating electricity for any reason.  At the same time, you also help to mitigate the utility’s peak load.
