Solar Hybrid Power: Aussie Solar
Case Studies
Information
West Australian company Aussie Solar has pioneered the use of cost effective fully automated hybrid power systems that combine the efficiency of solar energy with a state-of-the art power generator to deliver cost effective and reliable year-round power.
According to Aussie Solar’s Managing Director, Gary Cooper, the interest in hybrid renewable energy power systems has grown dramatically in the last few years, due mainly to the rising cost of fuel and the government’s 50% rebate on solar installations.
“With the rising cost of fuel hybrid systems such as the solar + diesel gen-set we’ve developed have become more appealing, as the solar component enables us to spread the gen-set run time out over the day.
“And depending on the size of the system the solar component can produce enough power to run the property, especially in the cooler months when air conditioning is not required, which delivers substantial savings through reduced diesel fuel usage.
“We’ve installed over 50 fully automated hybrid solar / diesel systems over the past three years, with inverters ranging from 6 kW through to 30 kW, which are tailor designed to meet the customer’s needs.
