Comparative Cost Analysis between Solar PV Energy and Diesel Generator
This study evaluates the comparative cost analysis of the use of solar energy from solar PV as the source of power against the Diesel generator being used at Airtel Switch Port
Solar hybrid systems are power systems that combine solar power from a photovoltaic system with another energy source. One of the most common hybrid systems being PV diesel hybrid system, coupling PV and diesel generators, also known as diesel gensets.
For this reason, there is a clear financial justification for converting almost every diesel-powered system into a solar/diesel hybrid system. Every unused diesel kWh saves money. The combination of diesel generators with PV systems quickly pays for itself through the large savings in fuel costs.
Over the past few years, the costs per kWh from PV systems have dropped to an average of €0.10 per kWh around the globe. For this reason, there is a clear financial justification for converting almost every diesel-powered system into a solar/diesel hybrid system. Every unused diesel kWh saves money.
The Solar PV Diesel BESS solution is a hybrid energy system that integrates solar energy, battery energy storage systems, and diesel generators. Its purpose is to maximize the use of solar energy, reduce dependency on diesel fuel, optimize energy supply, lower energy costs, and minimize carbon emissions.
