On-Grid

On-grid systems are solar photovoltaic systems that are connected to the local electric grid. These systems generate electricity that is then fed into the local grid and allocated according to the electricity demand.

All on-grid solutions fall under the newly released Feed-in Tariff program in Egypt where the government provides a pay-back on every unit of energy fed into the grid.

 

Off-Grid

In areas where the electricity supply from the national grid is either unavailable or financially impractical a stand-alone photovoltaic system is an ideal solution for generating energy. Storage systems are necessary in an off-grid PV system, since the solar modules can only produce electricity during daytime. The most common storage systems consist of rechargeable batteries and a battery regulator, which is required to prevent battery overcharging where the power is then drained from the battery for use as electricity. Typical applications include farms, remote communities, water pumps, tents, boats, street lights, radio masts and telecommunications towers.

 

Backup & Hybrid Solutions

In remote areas where the electricity supply from the national grid is either unavailable or financially impractical a stand-alone backup/hybrid system is another ideal solution for generating energy. Backup & hybrid solutions require power storage systems that are necessary in remote areas since grid access is not feasible.

The most common back up & hybrid solutions consist of a combination of standard fuel generators, solar panels, and rechargeable batteries for use as an electricity source. These solutions rely primarily on the solar panels for energy generation and then re-direct to the use of the power generators when demand increases. Typical applications include farms, remote communities, water pumps, tents, boats, street lights, radio masts and telecommunications towers.
