Comparison of a 200kW photovoltaic folding container and a diesel generator

Can a diesel generator be used as a photovoltaic system?

In combination, diesel generators and photovoltaic systems are very well suited to energy supply in areas with an unstable or non-existent mains supply. The additional use of solar energy reduces fuel consumption, which saves costs. Furthermore, the integration of a PV system brings a sustainable factor into the system.

Can a diesel generator be converted into a solar/diesel hybrid system?

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.

Why should you invest in a photovoltaic system?

Quick ROI – Due to the high savings potential, the investment in a photovoltaic system pays for itself after a short time. Reduce CO2 footprint – Generating solar power reduces your carbon footprint. Fuel costs make up the largest part of the cost of producing electricity using diesel generators.

Can a diesel-powered solar/diesel hybrid system save money?

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.
