What is Hybrid Solar System and How Does it Work?

After installing solar panels, there are three ways through which the energy generated from the sun is converted to power your homes. To name, they are on-grid systems, off-grid systems, and hybrid-grid solar systems. In this blog, we will have a look into the hybrid solar system and how it works.

What are Hybrid Solar Systems?

A hybrid solar system for home allows the solar panels to remain connected to the grid’s power line and have a battery backup system to store the excess power for later use. This system ensures you never run out of power for your home. The battery stores the excess energy utilized on cloudy or rainy days when the sunlight is insufficient.

How Does it Work?

The solar panels use a hybrid PV system to generate clean energy from the sun. The system smartly switches between using solar, battery, and grid power. The panel sends the solar power to the inverter that supplies energy to power your home. Surplus energy then goes to the battery for storage. If some unused energy is left, it is directed back to the grid.

Benefits of Hybrid Solar Panels

Apart from minimizing the monthly electricity bills, hybrid solar panels have the following benefits:

Cost-Effectiveness

The Roof Top Solar Hybrid panels allow you to store surplus energy and protect you from a sudden hike in electricity costs.

No Risk of Power Outages

If the grid fails to work due to any technical reason (or bad weather), your hybrid solar systems will still be working. 

Flexibility & Scalability

Unlike other systems, hybrid grids can be easily scaled to meet specific home requirements and future energy needs. 

If you have made up your mind to install hybrid solar panels but are struggling to calculate your monthly savings, KCP Solar is here to help you do that. Contact us today to get in touch with our proficient engineers for a detailed calculation of savings.

Brightening Futures: How Solar Street Lights Enhance Education in Villages

Solar-powered street lights In rural villages around the world, access to education is often hindered by the lack of proper infrastructure and resources. However, the introduction of solar street lights has brought a ray of hope, illuminating pathways for students and teachers alike. This article explores how solar street lights are transforming education in villages, creating brighter futures for the next generation. Illuminating the Path to Knowledge: Extended Study Hours One of the significant challenges in rural villages is the limited daylight hours, which restricts the time students have for studying and completing homework. Solar street lights extend the availability of well-lit environments, allowing students to study comfortably even after sunset. Safer Journey to School: Enhanced Safety for Students In many villages, students often walk long distances to reach their schools, navigating dimly lit and sometimes hazardous paths. Solar street lights enhance safety, reducing the r

Why are Solar Street Lights Beneficial for Villages?

The Government has always been trying its best to lighten up the rural areas for a few decades. Leave alone the residence lighting; sometimes, the rural areas also lack street lights. This situation becomes more challenging, affecting the education and health of the residents. In such a drastic situation, solar power seems to be the only solution. With no wire connection and no electricity line, the village solar street light is a boon to the villagers and the Government. In villages where distribution lines are yet to reach, off-grid is the best solution, but in others, going hybrid or on-grid is a wise decision. Let us discover in detail how solar street light in villages is empowering rural India. A Kick to the Economy Solar light installation increases the chances of small business opportunities after sunset. This means villagers can work longer hours in the dark and generate profit. Cost-Effective Solar streetlights are cost-effective compared to the electric network in the long

Advantages and Disadvantages of Hybrid Rooftop Solar System

Both off-grid and on-grid solar are helpful for generating electricity in areas with abundant sunlight. As these systems can’t store energy, they can’t produce electricity on cloudy days or at night. Here comes Hybrid Solar System that is connected to the grid via net metering. The system also has a battery backup to store the excess power.  The power backup capacity is the most extraordinary feature of hybrid systems that allows to use electricity during power outages. Along with its advantages, it comes with certain disadvantages too. Let us discover the merits and demerits of a hybrid Rooftop Solar System. Advantages Continuous Power Supply As the system is connected to the battery and grid, homeowners can enjoy a continuous flow of electric supply during power outages or at night. Low Maintenance Hybrid rooftop Solar panels are cost-effective in the long run. Though the installation cost is higher, but with Government subsidies, one can install the panels at a reduced tariff.
