Solar-powered container 15kW vs diesel engine

Can a diesel generator be used as a photovoltaic system?

In combination, diesel generators and photovoltaic systems are very well suited to energy supply in areas with an unstable or non-existent mains supply. The additional use of solar energy reduces fuel consumption, which saves costs. Furthermore, the integration of a PV system brings a sustainable factor into the system.

What is a solar diesel hybrid system?

Solar hybrid systems are power systems that combine solar power from a photovoltaic system with another energy source. One of the most common hybrid systems being PV diesel hybrid system, coupling PV and diesel generators, also known as diesel gensets.

Can a diesel generator be converted into a solar/diesel hybrid system?

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. The combination of diesel generators with PV systems quickly pays for itself through the large savings in fuel costs.

What are the best use cases for a solar diesel hybrid system?

The best use cases for a solar diesel hybrid system can normally be found in remote areas. These places are often off-grid and transport and storage of diesel can be expensive. But be it, poor grid or off-grid, all situations can benefit from a hybrid system.
