HYBRID ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM: A COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTION

Solar Energy and Modern Life

As traditional energy sources become increasingly depleted and climate change becomes more evident, transitioning to renewable energy, particularly solar power, has become more essential than ever. Installing rooftop solar power systems not only helps reduce monthly electricity costs but also contributes to environmental protection.

1. Hybrid Energy Storage system: A Comprehensive Solution

The Hybrid Energy Storage system is one of the most optimal solutions today, combining the advantages of traditional solar power systems with modern energy storage technology.

• Components of a Hybrid Energy Storage system:

  • Solar panels: These absorb sunlight, capturing photons and converting them into electrical energy.

  • Grid integration: The generated solar energy is fed into the national grid to supply power to users.

  • Energy storage: Excess solar energy is stored in solar power storage batteries. When electricity demand exceeds the generated solar power, or in the event of a grid outage, the system will automatically use stored energy.

  • Hybrid inverter: The heart of the system, the inverter converts from direct current (DC) from the solar panels into alternating current (AC) for household use. The hybrid inverter also manages the charging and discharging process to the storage system.

  • Zero export meter: If regulations do not allow excess solar power to be fed back into the grid, a zero export meter can be installed to prevent reverse power flow into the grid.

• Benefits of Hybrid Energy Storage system:

  • Cost savings: Significantly reduces monthly electricity bills, and in some cases, surplus electricity can be sold to the national grid when demand arises.

  • Power stability: Ensures continuous and uninterrupted power supply to appliances, even during grid outages.

  • Environmental protection: Reduces CO2 emissions, contributing to a healthier environment.

2. Factors Affecting Installation Costs

The cost of solar power equipment and the installation of Hybrid Energy Storage system depends on several factors:

• System capacity: The larger the system capacity, the higher the cost. However, larger systems optimize investment costs per installed kWp

• Type of solar panels: Monocrystalline panels offer higher efficiency and come at a higher price compared to polycrystalline panels. Currently, N-type monocrystalline panels are more popular than p-type due to their superior advantages.

• Type of storage batteries: Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries are currently the most common type, known for their long lifespan (up to 7,000 cycles), high efficiency, and deep discharge capability (DOD) of up to 100%. Additionally, LiFePO4 batteries offer better fire and explosion safety compared to other types.

• Complexity of the project: Projects with complex roof structures, such as weak framing, steep roof slopes, tall buildings, or areas with skylight panels, will require additional reinforcements and safety measures, leading to higher installation costs.

3. Solar Power Installation Process

• Survey and consultation: A technical team will visit the site to conduct a real-time survey and advise the customer on the appropriate system capacity.

• System design: A detailed plan is created for the placement of solar panels, electrical wiring, and the locations for the inverter and batteries.

• Installation: Equipment is installed according to the design plan.

• Inspection and handover: The entire system is inspected before being handed over to the customer.

4. Advice on Choosing a Provider

When deciding to install a solar power system, it’s important to select a reputable provider with extensive experience and long-term product warranties.

Grid-tied systems with storage are an intelligent and efficient solution to maximize solar energy use. With numerous benefits, it is a smart choice for both families and businesses.
