“Design and Analysis of Hybrid Solar Power Systems for Sustainable Energy Solutions”

Abstract

With the increasing demand for clean and reliable energy, hybrid solar systems have emerged as a versatile and efficient solution that bridges the gap between grid-tied and off-grid energy technologies. A hybrid solar system integrates photovoltaic (PV) panels with battery storage, an inverter, and a backup energy source such as a generator or utility grid. This configuration allows for optimized energy usage by storing excess solar power for later use, while also providing backup power during grid outages or periods of low solar generation. Unlike traditional systems, hybrid solutions enhance energy self- sufficiency, reduce peak demand charges, and improve overall energy resilience. This presentation delves into the architecture, working principles, and key components of hybrid solar systems. It also examines the control strategies used to manage energy flow between sources and loads, ensuring efficiency and reliability. Additionally, the economic and environmental benefits are analyzed, along with case studies demonstrating real- world applications in residential, commercial, and remote areas. As the world moves toward more sustainable energy models, hybrid solar systems play a crucial role in achieving energy independence, reducing carbon emissions, and supporting the transition to a greener future
