Hybrid Solar Power Plant

Hybrid solar systems generate power in the same way as the common grid-tie solar system but the main difference is that they use batteries to store energy for later use. It is because of the ability to use store energy most hybrid system to operate as backup power. They used this energy during a blackout which is similar to a UPS system.

This hybrid solar refers to a combination of battery storage and solar systems in which off-grid systems are connected to the electricity grid.

1                    Solar Hybrid Advantages –

Ø  Stores solar or low-cost electricity.

Ø  They allow using of solar energy during the peak times.

Ø  In this power available during a blackout or grid outage like a UPS function.

Ø  Solar hybrid enables the advanced management of energy.

Ø  It also enables energy independence.

Ø  It reduces the power consumption from the grid.

2                    Solar Hybrid Disadvantages –

Ø  In this System, cost is higher than the grid-feed solar which mainly due to the high price of batteries.

Ø  In this installation is much more complex. It is because it requires more room and a higher install cost.

Ø  Battery life of solar hybrid is mainly 5-7 years.
