Hybrid solar systems that keep power on through outages

A hybrid solar system brings together solar panels, a hybrid inverter and battery storage, with the grid as a backup.

Hybrid Solar Systems in Tanzania

A hybrid solar system brings together solar panels, a hybrid inverter and battery storage, with the grid as a backup. You run on sunshine during the day, store the extra for the evening, and only draw from the grid when solar and batteries are not enough. It combines the best of grid-tied and off-grid systems, and it keeps working during a blackout.

How a hybrid system works

Solar panels capture sunlight and turn it into DC electricity.
The hybrid inverter converts DC into the AC power your equipment uses.
Extra solar energy produced during the day charges the battery bank for use at night or on cloudy days.
When solar and batteries run low, the system draws from the grid automatically. Where the utility allows it, surplus power can also be exported.

Pricing

What decides the price

System size depends on your daytime and night-time load, the hours you need backup for, and the space available for panels. A load list or a few recent electricity bills is the best place to start.

FAQ

Hybrid Solar Systems: common questions

What size hybrid system do I need?

It depends on what you want to run and for how long. We do a load survey, list your equipment and operating hours, then size the panels, inverter and batteries to match.

Can I sell power back to TANESCO?

Export arrangements depend on the utility's rules at the time and on your connection. We design the system so it can work either way and advise you on what is currently possible.

Lithium or gel batteries?

Lithium (LiFePO4) costs more upfront but lasts more cycles, is lighter and needs no topping up. Gel is cheaper to start with. We explain the trade-off for your budget and usage.

Can you add solar to my existing generator setup?

Yes. Many of our hybrid designs reduce generator hours rather than remove the generator entirely, which is often the most cost-effective first step.
