Hybrid systems

Off-grid wind, solar and battery hybrid systems

Combining wind, solar and battery storage, our hybrid solutions reduce reliance on diesel, improve uptime and deliver consistent power where it's needed most

Why combine wind + solar

What is a hybrid energy system?

Hybrid energy systems combine multiple renewable sources, most commonly solar and wind, with battery storage to deliver consistent power in off-grid or unreliable-grid environments.

Solar works best during the day, while wind can generate energy day and night. The battery captures excess power and keeps things running when neither source is active. This setup reduces fuel costs, increases uptime and provides a reliable, low-emission alternative to diesel.

Up to 99% lower diesel usage with wind and solar

Hybrid systems reduce fuel consumption significantly compared to diesel-only setups

Significant reduction in operating costs

Ryse Energy’s systems cut fuel use, lower maintenance, and reduce reliance on costly logistics, delivering long-term savings and improved cost stability

FAQ

Hybrid wind and solar questions

What is a hybrid wind and solar power system?

A hybrid system combines wind turbines, solar PV and battery storage under one controller. Solar generates during the day, wind can generate day and night, and the battery supplies the load when neither source is producing. A backup generator can be added for long spells of low wind and sun.

Why add wind to a solar and battery system?

Wind and solar often peak at different times. Wind keeps generating at night, in cloudy weather and through winter, when solar output drops. That means a smaller battery bank and fewer generator hours for the same load.

How much diesel can a hybrid system save?

Savings depend on the site’s wind and solar resource and its load. Compared with diesel-only setups, Ryse hybrid systems can cut diesel use by up to 99%, along with the fuel deliveries and generator maintenance that go with it.

Can a hybrid system run without a grid connection?

Yes. Off-grid hybrid systems power telecom sites for Vodafone Egypt and for Kacific in Papua New Guinea. Hybrid systems also support weak grids, such as Winercon’s bad-grid telecom towers in Valencia, Spain, and grid-connected sites such as ADIF rail facilities in Spain.

What turbine and solar sizes go into a typical hybrid system?

Telecom and infrastructure sites commonly pair an E-5 5 kW turbine with a solar array, for example 6 to 8.3 kWp per site for the Aragonese Government and 9.9 kWp for Vodafone Egypt. Low-load sites such as pipeline monitoring use AIR range micro turbines. Village microgrids in Ghana and Cape Verde use 10 to 15 kW turbines with 20 to 30 kW of solar.

Where do Ryse hybrid systems work best?

At sites that need power around the clock and face high fuel costs or an unreliable grid, including off-grid and bad-grid telecom towers, monitoring stations, rural microgrids, water pumping and remote homes.
