Hybrid PV + BESS
Size solar and a battery together so unused midday energy can move into the evening. Then lock one case a lender can finance, not the highest return.
- 1
Size solar and the battery
Megawatts, megawatt-hours, and 2 to 8 hours.
- 2
Shift unused midday energy
Move it into evening hours on the same connection.
- 3
Lock a Recommended Case
The size that clears lenders, not the highest IRR.
What this includes
- Solar MW, battery MWh, and duration from 2 to 8 hours
- Unused midday energy moved into evening hours
- Contract coverage versus merchant risk
- Recommended Case, not the highest return
A hybrid plant is solar plus a battery on the same grid connection. The battery can catch unused midday energy and move it into evening hours, when the contract or the node pays more.
We test solar megawatts, battery megawatt-hours, and 2 to 8 hours of storage on Chile or Mexico prices. Then we lock a Recommended Case for the bank pack. That case is not the highest return. It is the size that still clears the contract and lender tests.
What you walk away with
- Solar and battery sizes from 2 to 8 hours
- Unused midday energy versus merchant risk
- A path into dispatch and cash flow
