Save Fuel with
Solar Diesel Hybrid Systems
Save money with photovoltaics & diesel generators
Advantages of solar diesel hybrid systems
- Reduce diesel costs – Solar power is much cheaper and more predictable in the long term than power generated by diesel generators.
- Quick ROI – Due to the high savings potential, the investment in a photovoltaic system pays for itself after a short time.
- Reduce CO2 footprint – Generating solar power reduces your carbon footprint.
Save fuel and reduce energy costs
Fuel costs make up the largest part of the cost of producing electricity using diesel generators. Depending on the geographical location, oil prices of up to €2.5 per kWh can be expected. This shows no sign of abating.
The price trend in the photovoltaics sector is much more positive. Over the past few years, the costs per kWh from PV systems have dropped to an average of €0.10 per kWh around the globe.
For this reason, there is a clear financial justification for converting almost every diesel-powered system into a solar/diesel hybrid system. Every unused diesel kWh saves money.
An investment that pays off quickly
The combination of diesel generators with PV systems quickly pays for itself through the large savings in fuel costs.
Intelligent technology ensures optimum interaction between the photovoltaic system and the diesel generator. This guarantees that as much solar energy as possible is used and that the diesel generator operates at various degrees of utilisation at the most advantageous operating points.
How a solar diesel hybrid system works
Reduction of diesel costs through the use of photovoltaic energy
„During the day, the owners of the tobacco factory are able to cover a large proportion of their energy requirements with solar power, both in the high and the low season. If less tobacco is produced, the farm feeds more energy into the grid. The owner thereby has an additional source of income and becomes a „power farmer“. He uses less diesel and saves thousands of euros annually. Thanks to these savings, the system will have paid for itself within a few years.“
