In this blog post, we delve into the expenses involved in going off the grid in South Africa, focusing on the key components of solar panels, inverters, and batteries.
Well, that''s exactly why hybrid renewable energy systems are sort of the ultimate power play. These systems combine at least two renewable sources – typically solar and wind – with
If Li-Ion energy storage is added in a solar PV Hybrid case, on our models the capital cost of the installation will be doubled but the system will show a return on investment after 8-12 years. The payback is depends on the size of the storage system.
Hybrid systems combine the features of both grid-tied and off-grid systems. They can operate connected to the grid but also have battery storage for backup power. These systems generate power during the day and store the generated power in the battery. During cloudy days or power outages, the stored power can be used to power home appliances.
A 100kWp Solar PV system with a 80kWp and 180kWh Li-Ion energy storage system which gives roughly 2 hours of storage was modelled based on the latest pricing points gathered by GreenCape (see Figure 1). Figure 1: The modelled payback period for a hybrid 100kWp solar PV and 80kWp and 180kWh Li-ion energy storage system.
A 10 kW Solar System can run a range of home appliances like lights, televisions, laptops, refrigerators, and even air conditioning. In fact, a 10 kW Solar System can generate 40-50 kWh of power each day in South Africa, which is typically enough to power two small families or one large family.
