Hybrid Solar Power Plants

These include industrial enterprises in remote areas, mining operations, agricultural complexes, remote shift camps, telecom facilities, and any businesses incurring high costs from diesel generation. Hybrid power supply systems are also in demand where backup power is needed due to unstable grid supply.

The maximum economic effect is achieved in regions that combine high solar irradiance (Southern Russia, Central Asia, Kazakhstan) with a high cost or complexity of fuel delivery — such as Siberia, the Far East, Yakutia, and hard-to-reach areas of the Urals.

With a properly calculated configuration, a hybrid power plant can reduce diesel consumption by 60–80%. The exact figure depends on the irradiance level, the facility's load profile, and the capacity of the energy storage system. We calculate the projected fuel savings during the feasibility study stage (using specific data from your facility, rather than averaged industry standards).

For facilities completely dependent on diesel generation, total savings over 10 years of operation often exceed the initial capital expenditure by 2–3 times. For facilities with partial grid power, the impact is lower, but the payback period is shorter — starting from 4 years (due to peak shaving and selling surplus energy back to the grid).

Yes. The hybrid system is designed with your existing equipment in mind: current diesel generators are transitioned into backup mode rather than being dismantled. The inverter and controller manage all sources centrally. Integration into the existing power distribution system is fully fleshed out during the detailed engineering design stage.

Unigreen Energy implements projects ranging from 250 kW to several dozen MW. The solar field capacity, storage capacity, and backup source type are determined individually based on the daily and seasonal consumption profile of the specific facility.

Yes. We have extensive experience executing projects under challenging logistical conditions: we handle the delivery of equipment, including heterojunction modules and storage systems, to areas lacking developed transport infrastructure.

The price of a hybrid SPP is determined by the capacity of the solar field (kW/MW), the type and capacity of the energy storage system, the backup source capacity, and the complexity of installation and logistics. A one-size-fits-all figure is impossible due to the high variability of initial conditions. We formulate a detailed cost calculation after reviewing the questionnaire and performing an initial facility analysis. Leave a request, and we will send you a commercial proposal.
