10kVA 35kWh PV(7.92kWp) with 16kWh Storage residential hybrid solar system installation in Still Bay
Specialized Solar Systems residential installation team recently completed a 10kVA , 7.92kW 35kWh solar yield per day with a 16kWh LiFePOâ‚„ battery – hybrid solar system installation in Still Bay in the Western Cape, South Africa.
Designed by Specialized Solar Systems, this residential hybrid solar system consisted of:
- 2 x 5kVA Victron Multuplus II inverters
- 24 x 330-watt PV solar panels (7.920kWp) yielding a daily average of 35kWh
- Freedom Won LiFePO4 20/16 storage (lithium iron phosphate battery)
- 2 x Victron 150/85 MPPT charge controller
- CCGX color Control solar system remote management device
This residential hybrid solar system is designed to solar-yield an average of 35kWhrs per day throughout the year and took the residential solar installation team 3 days to complete the job. Image below of the installation:
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 back up 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.
