Why should you choose a hybrid solar system in South Africa?
Loadshedding and power failures are common in South Africa – leaving us with no electricity at home and/or the workplace. As a result, people are turning to alternative power generation to maintain an electricity supply when the main grid fails. If you are looking for a Hybrid Solar System in South Africa, Synergy Energy is your solution!
What is a hybrid solar system?
A hybrid solar system utilises several power generation and storage elements to provide electricity to essential and non-essential loads. Such a system comprises of a PV (photo-voltaic) solar array, a lithium-ion battery bank, and an inverter to regulate and convert electric current.
Will Li-ion energy storage be added in a solar PV hybrid case?
If Li-Ion energy storage is added in a solar PV Hybrid case, on our models the capital cost of the installation will be doubled but the system will show a return on investment after 8-12 years. The payback is depends on the size of the storage system.
How big is a solar PV storage market?
If a quarter of new build solar PV systems installed have a storage component coupled to it there could be a potential storage market of roughly 200MWh per annum which can be translated to roughly R2 billion market size in a year. Case studies that demonstrate the business case.
Are battery storage solutions sold as a service?
Very few projects have been installed using a power purchase agreement model where the battery storage solutions are sold as a service. An office block with a very high energy demand and roof space for a 100kWp solar PV system is investigating options for energy independence.
South Africa’s energy supply crisis (and incessant loadshedding), coupled with the remarkable cost reduction of lithium-ion batteries, has led us to the point where almost every single residential rooftop solar system is installed with storage.

The typical value stacking of hybrid solar and storage systems in South Africa is (1) provide backup during loadshedding, and (2) maximise PV self-consumption. BESS can also be advantageous for the provision of ancillary services, such as frequency control and operating reserves (spinning and
breakdown for the pricing ranges of the various sized Li-Ion systems The table presents the capital costs in a rand per kWh vale (R/kWh). The majority of installa ions are turnkey with an outright capital cost for the installations. Very few projects have been installed using a power purchase agre
Three game-changers are reshaping the hybrid energy storage market: Let's break down the numbers. A typical 10kW solar + 10kWh battery system in Texas now averages $24,700 before incentives. Compare that to 's $31,000 baseline. The secret sauce? Battery pack prices dipped below $100/kWh for the
