Grid Tie vs Off-Grid vs Hybrid Solar System
Grid Tie vs Off-Grid vs Hybrid Solar System Solar systems can be confusing. Choosing the correct system for your home and desired outcome takes careful planning. We explain the major differences between a Grid Tied, Off-Grid, and Hybrid solar system. Grid tied ( On-Grid ) In a grid tied system , the solar power is paralleled with utility. The 2 run synchronously and the major benefit of such system is that your load will always consume the solar power generated first. Example 1 The demand (kW) in your home at a particular time is, lets say, [...]
Off grid Solar – How it works
Power without the Grid, Back-Up An Off grid Solar system is designed to power your home or business when there is no state utility (Eskom). Either as Back-Up or fully off grid, these systems utilise batteries to store power. An Inverter changes the DC charge to AC which in-turn powers things up. SolarXgen specialises in both forms of Off Grid systems , Back-Up and Stand Alone systems. Off Grid Solar for "Load-Shedding" A back-up power system is typically installed to curb power outages during load shedding. Batteries are charged, through a charge-controller, by either - Solar panels or Eskom (or a [...]
Energy Storage Solutions – ESS
Energy Storage Solutions - We're powering Commerce SolarXgen's ESS Division offers a broad range of lithium ion battery systems, from kilowatt-hour sized systems for residential use to multi-megawatt-hour class systems for the utility industry. Energy Storage offers a variety of benefits The increase in the quantity of electricity produced by renewable sources is creating new challenges for energy grids that are already stressed. Coupled with the unstable supply of Africa's grid, makes for a dual challenge.Today's electricity systems must balance supply and demand at any time, enable more flexible grid management and ensure optimised levels of energy efficiency.
