Market Gap for Commercial and Industrial Solar Power Solutions
One of the most well-known applications of solar energy is large-scale solar power generation plants, which use solar energy to generate electricity and connect to the power grid, providing electricity to industrial, commercial, and residential users.
Additionally, there are residential solar power systems, which can not only provide electricity for the home but also supply excess electricity to the power grid.
However, solar energy solutions designed specifically for industrial and commercial use are still relatively rare in the market. Despite the huge demand for energy savings and lower electricity bills in these sectors, this market segment seems to be underserved.
In response to this phenomenon, this article will explore in depth the application of solar energy in industry and commerce, propose a series of feasible solutions, and analyze its unique advantages, aiming to fill this market gap and help companies achieve more efficient energy utilization and cost savings.
Basic Ideas of Solar Power for Industrial and Commercial Applications
The power grid primarily uses AC power, mainly to facilitate the increase of voltage for long-distance transmission, reduce wire diameter, reduce losses, and then facilitate voltage reduction at the terminal.
Furthermore, most household appliances are powered by AC power.This is because most of the power consumption in industry and commerce is for motors. If these motors are BLDC motors or AC motors with inverters, then the power supply can be DC, eliminating the need for AC conversion and associated losses.
Therefore, in modern industry and commerce, DC is often the preferred choice for equipment application. Industrial and commercial solar solutions can directly supply DC power to equipment, addressing a significant portion of electricity consumption costs.A small number of inverters can also be added to power traditional AC appliances and lights.
Solar Power for Fan & Ventilation
Regarding the applications of solar energy in the industrial and commercial fields, the following example is the application of solar energy in fans and ventilation. Ventilation equipment generally needs to run for a long time and high electricity consumption. If this part of the electricity is replaced by solar energy, it can solve most of the electricity bills for industrial and commercial entities every year. By replacing traditional electricity sources with solar energy, businesses can also reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future.
The following is the basic idea of using solar energy for fans and ventilation equipment:
Whether it is a BLDC motor or not, solar energy can be used. If it is an AC induction motor, as long as a frequency converter is added, DC power can be used.
The core part of this system is the E-Hybrid solar controller. The unique technology allows DC and AC power to couple and complement each other in real time, solving the problem of unstable solar energy due to weather conditions and maintaining stable output. Batteries can also be selected as backup power when there is no solar energy.
In some areas where grid electricity cannot be used, the following low-voltage DC system, with an E-Hybrid MPPT solar charger controller can also be used to operate completely off-grid.
Adaptive Energy Management Mode
If the weather and load are changing at any time, how does the E-Hybrid solar controller provide stable DC power to the equipment all the time? The following operating modes well demonstrate these functions and how AC and DC complement each other in various scenarios:
If there are a batteries in the system, the batteries will also participate in the energy complementation, and the excess solar energy will charge the battery, further reducing the grid power consumption:
