If you are looking for energy security during load shedding, plus savings on your electric bill for your residential home, office, company or commercial building then a battery-tied system with a hybrid inverter may be the solution you need. When The Grid Is Off, You Stay On Installing batteries and a special hybrid inverter for your solar PV system means that during times when the grid is down, some essential loads in your building will stay on, while non-essential loads will turn off. This is the difference between a battery-tied system and a grid-tied system (link to page), the battery-tied system stays on during load shedding while the grid-tied system turns off during load shedding. THIS SYSTEM ALSO PROVIDES SAVINGS ON ELECTRICITY With this system, your electric bill will come down substantially, thanks to the solar PV panels – the only drawback of this system is the initial cost; batteries and the necessary hybrid inverter can be pricey. If budget is a challenge, starting with a battery backup solution that is modular and fully expandable to solar PV in the future may be the smart way to go. Alternatively, if savings on your bill are most important to you, you can opt for a more cost effective grid-tied solar system..
Going “off-grid” has become an ever-more popular option, especially considering not only the environmental benefits but the convenience, with ongoing loadshedding. With solar photovoltaic solutions and other alternative energy solutions becoming increasingly high-quality and easily accessible, a growing number of home- and business owners want to make the leap to off-grid energy. But is it the most cost-effective system? Or would a grid-tied system make more sense from a maintenance and cost perspective?.
When should I consider going off-grid?
If you are a commercial business, office or residential homeowner in an urban area, loadshedding might be distressing, but the chances are that a fully off-grid solution won’t make sense for you. By opting for a grid-tied energy solution, you can enjoy both the benefits of a solar PV system and grid connection while avoiding the rolling blackouts caused by loadshedding. This brings you savings on your electrical bill, energy security during times of unstable grid power, and some independence from future unpredictable electricity tariff rises. For some, you may only need a loadshedding battery backup system, while others may require a dedicated grid-tied system.
Fully off-grid energy solutions are more suitable if:
Grid-tied inverters will turn off and stop power flowing from your solar PV panels to the grid when the grid has no power. This is for safety reasons to protect electricians while doing line maintenance. Unfortunately, this also means that the electrical loads in your building will be off when the grid turns off. If you would like your solar power to keep producing energy during load shedding, you will need to consider a battery-tied solar system with a hybrid inverter. THIS SYSTEM PRIMARILY PROVIDES SAVINGS ON ELECTRICITY, Because this solution doesn’t include any batteries and the grid-tied inverter turns off during times of no grid power, this system doesn’t provide energy security but rather primarily provides a cost-effective way to save on your electricity bill, while also decreasing your building’s carbon footprint through the use of renewable energy.
