For Industrial & High-Power Applications – If you need uninterrupted power for factories, hospitals, or heavy machinery, a diesel generator is the better choice. For Residential & Sustainable Solutions – If you prioritize clean energy, a battery storage system is more cost-effective and eco-friendly in the long run.
Energy storage is crucial for off-grid systems due to three essential use cases: power quality, power reliability, and balancing support. It enables time shifting during excess low-cost generation and energy release during peak demand. While storage value has been identified in many cases, these three aspects are particularly important.
Since the diesel generator is only used as a backup, this type of microgrid can achieve a renewable energy penetration rate of up to 100%. However, the storage system needs to be relatively large, and due to the high cost of energy storage systems, the return on investment for this type of microgrid is relatively low.
Electrochemical storage technologies are the most common solutions for off-grid installations. If nonelectrical energy storage systems, such as water tanks for a pumping system or flywheels or hydrogen storage in specific locations and contexts, are sometimes a relevant solution, they are not as common as electrochemical storage technologies.
Our solar PV systems and energy storage products are engineered for reliability, safety, and efficient deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
