The term ‘hybrid solar plant’ is used, as the solar plant will often work in parallel to diesel generator or mains grid supply. A regular grid-tied solar power system can typically replace up to 40% of current electricity consumption with clean solar energy. A battery-backed system can replace anywhere from 50% to 100% of energy consumption with solar energy.
