Why Hybrid Solar System is best for Commercial Purposes?

Pakistan is a developing nation, which is gravely affected by the energy crises and the increase in fuel prices. Commerce has been one of the most widely affected sectors in Pakistan because of the rising electricity problems. Solar Panel systems are playing a significant role in the smooth operations in different units of the commercial sector. As they ensure the uninterrupted power supply, these solar systems are integral for banks, educational institutes, hospitals, hotels, and other corporate buildings. Installing hybrid solar solutions is a smart choice for small industries, commercial buildings, and offices. They produce free power from the Sun's energy, thus reducing the electricity bills and increasing the savings. Electricity production through renewable energy and its eco-friendly properties ensure the safety of the environment, which is great for our planet.

What Is A Hybrid Solar System?

A Hybrid Solar System is a mixture of the off-grid and grid-tie systems and has excellent peculiarities from both the other systems. It can be connected to the grid and the batteries as well. If it is hooked up to the batteries only, it is regarded as an off-grid solar system. If the connection is made with the grid only, it will act as a grid-tie solar system. If connected to both, it will act as a hybrid system.

How A Hybrid Solar System Works?

With the skyrocketing utility prices and power interruptions in Pakistan, it is no wonder that more businesses are turning to hybrid solar energy systems. Like the other solar panel systems, the PV cells generate electricity when the sunlight energizes the electrons in them. This electricity is produced as Direct Current and is converted into Alternating Current by the hybrid Solar Inverter. It then supplies this Alternating Current of 240 Voltage to the house. After completing the supply, all the surplus electricity is saved in the batteries until they are fully charged up to their capacities. Once the Solar Batteries are full, the excess energy is supplied to the grid, which goes through the net metering system. During the day, your Solar System harvests energy from the sun to power both your home and charge your battery backup unit. You can then use this power at night when your system is not generating enough electricity or in the event of a power outage.

Advantages of A Hybrid Solar System

Reliability

These systems are most reliable when it comes to dealing with electricity issues as they perform operations of both the Off-grid and On-grid systems. The hybrid functionality permits it to counter situations like a blackout, poor weather with the help of stored electricity, and also allows it to export excess electricity to the grid.

Blackout Operations

These systems, when hooked up to batteries, can perform an off-grid function, which is why they can provide an uninterrupted supply of electricity during blackout or grid failures.

Net Metering

These systems are also be joined to the utility grid so they can operate a Net Metering System. It means that the electricity produced can be supplied to the grid for credits as electricity units or money.

Environmental Conservation

Hybrid solutions, just like other solar solutions, are an outstanding Way to Conserve the environment by the use of renewable energy sources. It becomes a basis for reduced carbon footprints on the environment that helps decrease pollution, global warming, and has an overall positive effect on the environment.

Burden off the Grid

Most of the commercial places run during the day. If businesses are using the electricity produced by their solar panel systems, then it means they are not using the electricity from the grid and thus there will be a less load on the utility grid.

Why Hybrid Solar System is Best For Commercial Purposes?

The commercial sector can have the greatest benefits from the hybrid solar system. The mega industries cannot rely on batteries because then they will be required in a gigantic number and would far exceed the budgeting and placement limits. Some residential consumers get hybrid systems, but initially, they use them as grid-tie solar systems with the thought to add in batteries later on because of their prices. Some domestic customers get complete Hybrid Solar Solutions. For commercial consumers, hybrid solar solutions appear to be the most viable system because of the following reasons:

·        The number of batteries required to run the appliances of a commercial setup such as a bank, school, hospital, office, minor industry, or a shopping center is relatively small as compared to the batteries required for a mega-industry.

·        Because of the lesser number of solar batteries required, a hybrid commercial solar solution is more affordable than its counterparts

·        The commercial owners usually have the purchasing power to afford a hybrid solar system

·        The machinery in these businesses usually includes smaller motors, computers, air conditioners, lights, fans, which are the appliances that do not need a heavy load of electricity to operate, so the batteries can run these appliances when the backup is needed

Due to all the preceding reasons, hybrid solar solutions are the best choice for any commercial setup, which has the purchasing power to buy the batteries. One can also take advantage of the State Bank of Pakistan’s Solar Financing Scheme. For a more profitable transaction, it is important to have your solar plan devised by a Solar Consultant.
