Types Of Solar Systems
What Are the Three Primary Types of Solar Energy Systems?
System 1 BACK UP Grid Tie
No batteries, grid connected.
This system supplements your grid energy usage and is a very good option for reducing your electricity usage from the grid. In the event of a blackout or power outage, your solar system is forced to shut down. However, given that Eskom outages are not the issue, but cost savings are, this is a highly practical solution to dramatically reduce your electricity bill by producing all your daytime energy requirements, free from the sun, and avoiding the additional expense of a battery system.
A Grid tie system is highly cost-effective and has a much shorter payback period (ie: starts paying for itself from day 1).
System 2 Hybrid
Batteries and a grid connection.
Is commonly referred to as a hybrid system and with the correct installation will act as a UPS (uninterrupted power supply) in the event of a power outage. The PV system will charge up the batteries first and then the excess production will supplement your household/ business energy needs. Many of our clients start with system 1 with a plan to build up to a system 2 and then add battery back-up at a later stage as their budget allows to build up to a system 2 configuration. The great benefit of solar PV is that it’s entirely scalable and you can add to it as your needs grow. Clients typically opt for this when power outages are an ongoing issue.
System 3 Off Grid
Only batteries, no grid connection.
Is useful for areas where no grid exists, such as farms or remote areas. The energy produced will charge up the batteries which should allow for two to three days’ worth of energy needs and these batteries will feed the power requirements of the property.
