Solar system is consisting of multiple components and there are major two types of solar system.
HYBRID SOLAR SYSTEM AND GRID TIED SOLAR SYSTEM.
There are many functional and operation differences in both systems, in this blog we will give detailed information about hybrid solar system. we will discuss Advantages Hybrid solar systems.
Hybrid system is when your solar panels remain connected to the grid’s power lines and have a backup battery system to store excess power. The sun’s energy absorbed by the solar panels goes through an inverter to create usable electricity.
OR
Hybrid Solar Systems generate power in the same way as a common grid-tie solar system but use special hybrid inverters and batteries to store energy for later use. This ability to store energy enables most hybrid systems to also operate as a backup power supply during a blackout, similar to a UPS system.
A Hybrid Solar System Consists of the Following Components
- Solar Panel
- DCDB ACDB
- Hybrid Inverter
- Battery
Solar Panel:
Solar energy begins with the sun. Solar panels (also known as “PV panels”) are used to convert light from the sun, which is composed of particles of energy called “photons”, into electricity that can be used to power electrical loads.
A solar cell panel, solar electric panel, photo-voltaic (PV) module or solar panel is an assembly of photo-voltaic cells mounted in a framework for installation. Solar panels use sunlight as a source of energy to generate direct current electricity. A collection of PV modules is called a PV panel, and a system of PV panels is called an array. Arrays of a photovoltaic system supply solar electricity to electrical equipment.
Types of Solar Panel:
- Monocrystalline Solar Panels (Mono-SI)
- Polycrystalline Solar Panels (p-Si)
- Thin-Film: Amorphous Silicon Solar Panels (A-SI)
Hybrid Inverter:
They’re a great way to combine both solar panels and a battery into a single piece of equipment that can intelligently manage power from your solar panels, solar batteries, and the utility grid at the same time.
A hybrid inverter is the most efficient way to maximize the benefits of solar power, because they can intelligently switch between using the sun and the power grid, so you’ll get the most out of your solar panels during periods when it’s sunny.
DCDB ACDB:
ACDB / DCDB Panels refer to the AC DC Distribution Panel Board, which regulates the AC power from the PCU and includes the essential surge arrestors.
That’s why the DCDB ACDB system is the most efficient solution. It’s basically a board that collects and distributes all the power from the PV panels, and distributes it to
every device on the home’s grid.
One of the best things about this system is that it can be added to any existing solar PV panel setup, even though it doesn’t need to be mounted on the roof. It’s a modular design, which means that the rare different sizes available, and it can also be mounted at varying heights.
You won’t have to worry about the panels overheating, as the system uses thermal cut-off protection that will automatically shut down power to the panel if the temperature reaches a certain level. There are two main ways of connecting the panels to the system – the standard method is the screw-fix method, where the panels are simply screwed onto the top surface of the system. Alternatively, they can be connected via a snap-in connector, so that they’re easy to remove and replace. The panels connect to the system with either a screw-fix or snap-in connection, depending on the brand of panel
Battery:
lithium-ion battery
Rechargeable battery that uses lithium ions as the primary component of its electrolyte Off-grid solar products consist of a photovoltaic (PV) module, which generates energy, and a battery to store this energy and provide useful on-demand power for the user. Batteries therefore form a very important component of the off-grid solar industry. Over the years, technological progress has contributed to advances in battery technology and reduced costs, which have supported the evolution of off-grid solar
products.
The off-grid solar industry is dominated by two different battery technologies. Lithium-based batteries are commonly used. Lithium-ion becoming more ubiquitous in off-grid solar products are their substantial advantages in durability, cycle life, deep discharge capability, and efficiency in comparison to lead-acid and nickel- metal hydride batteries.
