how It works

The solar hybrid system is a combination of On-Grid and Off-Grid based solar energy systems. In simple terms, one can define it as a grid connected solar power system with a battery backup added.

It works by sending solar power to your inverter, which then sends energy to power your home/ business. Extra energy that is not used goes to the battery for storage. This battery can provide power to your home/ business when your solar panels are not producing energy (when there is no sun).

This ability to store energy enables hybrid systems to also operate as a backup power supply during a blackout.

The main advantage of the hybrid system is that it provides power continuously without any interruption, as the batteries connected to them store the energy. So, when there is an electricity outage, the batteries work to provide you with a power backup.

In case of a situation where there is still no sun and you have used up all the stored energy, the system will start drawing power from the grid. This way, you never have any power downtime.

Proper system sizing however ensures that you always have enough stored power to last you until the sun is back up.

Benefits of Hybrid Solar Systems

1. Continuous power supply

Hybrid systems provide power continuously, without any interruption since the batteries connected to them store energy. Therefore, when there is a power outage, the energy stored in batteries is used as power back-up to continue to power your home/business. This is also the case during the evening or night time when there is no sun and energy is not being generated; batteries provide the back-up and life goes on without any interruption.

2. Utilize the renewable sources in best way

Because the batteries are connected to the system to store the energy, there is no waste of the excess energy generated on bright sunny days. So, these systems make use of the renewable energy in best way, storing energy on a good day and utilize the stored power on a bad day. The balance is maintained.

3. Low maintenance cost

The maintenance cost of the hybrid solar energy systems is low compared to the traditional generators which use diesel as fuel. No fuel is used and they do not require frequent servicing.

4. High efficiency

Hybrid solar systems work more efficiently than your traditional generators which waste the fuel under certain conditions. Hybrid systems work efficiently in all types of conditions.

5. Load management

Unlike generators which provide high power as soon as they are turned on, most of hybrid solar systems manage load accordingly. A hybrid system has technology that adjusts the energy supply according to the devices they are connected to, whether it’s an air conditioner requiring high power or a fan which requires less.

Our client was facing frequent power outages in his six bedroom home in rural Bondo. He reached out to us frustrated and looking for an alternative solution. We installed a system to run all appliances in his home consisting of 12 panels of 550 watts each, 10kWh lithium ion battery and a 10kW hybrid inverter. This system powers lighting, fridge, deep freezer, TV, washing machine and microwave.

Our system has successfully stabilized power at the home. Our client happily states, “I am very happy and at peace now that I am not relying on the unpredictable Kenya Power. I enjoy going back to my home a lot more nowadays knowing I have reliable power. For me, it is all about the peace of mind.”

6kW Solar Hybrid System for A Six Bedroom Home in Klifi

Amidst the blazing sun of Kilifi, our system is providing power to a 6 bedroom family home powering a modern kitchen, swimming pool, several air conditioners, 3TVs, water pumps, 2 fridges, 2 freezers, iron box, Wi-Fi router, washing machine, home theatre, indoor and security lights. The system consisting of 20 solar panels of 550w, 3 nos. 12kW inverter and 4 nos. 10kWh lithium batteries.

Before system installation, our client was paying Ksh. 40,000 per month on electricity bills. This was his biggest frustration. He reported to us that he now gets a bill of about Ksh. 1000 per month! Most months he saves 100% with our system. He is so happy that he has referred dozens of clients to us.

10kW Solar Hybrid System for A 5-Bed Home in Katani
