While the system will not include battery storage, the company has developed system management software that will allow the diesel generator to manage variation in solar output effectively.

The company sees solar power as a cheaper alternative to running a remote grid completely on diesel-fuelled generation, but the cost of battery systems remains prohibitive for the time being.

“The proprietary hybrid system developed by the Company is able to seamlessly manage the fluctuations in solar PV energy production to provide smooth, reliable power, without the need for batteries to stabilise energy delivery to Nova,” Moffat added.
