Hybrid diesel solar generators integrate diesel generators and solar power energy to generate combined power output. This set up presents an amazing off-grid power supply that is very fuel efficient!

In remote areas where the grid is out of reach there can be activities happening that still require reliable power supply. For example, there are factories and plantations whose operations are very dependent on power supply. Diesel generators have been found to be the preferred option. Total dependence on diesel generators, however, slowly strains the pockets of the buyer, as well as suppliers who transport and distribute it. Quite beneficially, these generators alleviate sky-rocketing diesel costs. Read more about USP&E and what we do here.

Solar power generation is effectively limited to daytime when there is sunshine, unlike the diesel generator counter-part. Areas like Southern Africa receive an average of 11 to 13 hours of sunshine per day. Cloud cover also affects the production of solar power. The solar power output is inversely proportional to the amount of cloud cover there is. Solar power coupled to make hybrid diesel solar generators make a marked power contribution. Power output ratios of the diesel generator and solar power can be fine-tuned from 60% to 40% respectively. Where total power requirements for an application are large, saving 40% on diesel fuel can surely be considered beneficial. USP&E can help you save in this way through our reliable generators.

Hybrid diesel solar generators are more than cost savings

Hybrid diesel-solar generators offset the risks of operations halting due to faults that occur when only one power source is used. These generators perform better than one source when both risk and cost factors are considered. In effect, this will reduce the total cost of ownership.

Solar power in itself is a clean source of energy. This means that its integration into hybrid diesel solar generators won’t add to pollution issues.
