Hybrid solar system – diesel generator for industry

In Liberia the national electricity grid is unreliable, subject to continuous and prolonged interruptions. For this reason, many production sites and offices are equipped with a diesel generator which compensates for network gaps. Even in Liberia, however, the price of petrol has risen significantly in recent times and therefore the owners of these buildings find themselves having to pay high costs to be able to work continuously.

To overcome the high costs of bills, a photovoltaic system can be installed that integrates with existing generators and thus creates a hybrid solar-diesel system. This solution adapts very well to all those industrial and commercial applications that see their main consumption during the day, so that solar energy can be exploited to the maximum. Given that in a system the greatest cost comes from the accumulation, with this type of system the high initial investment for batteries is avoided and at the same time the generators are used to a minimum, significantly reducing the monthly costs for electricity.
