How does a Hybrid Solar Power System work?
Hybrid Power Systems combine different energy sources with energy storage to create a single energy solution that provides continuous and reliable power. Let’s review what are common Hybrid Energy Systems (HES) and how do they work:
BESS + Generator Power
A battery energy storage like the ESU50 acts as the primary source of power on the site and is coupled with a small diesel generator to charge the unit when the battery is low. This pairing reduces generator runtime, lowers diesel fuel consumption by up to 75% and slashes associated costs, and significantly cuts down on CO2 emissions.
Suitable for a multitude of applications across the mining, resources, civil, events sectors and during maintenance shutdowns, this hybrid system ensures continuous power supply to remote sites no matter the operating conditions.
BESS + Solar Energy
Suitable for a multitude of applications, they are available from small off-grid modular power supply units through to large containerised units for large-scale grid-side energy storage.
BESS + Solar + Generator
In this configuration, the main source of power comes from the combination of BESS and solar systems like the Solar Skid, the generator functions solely as a backup power source. This pairing harnesses the power of the sun for clean energy generation.
Solar panels charge the battery and excess solar power is stored within the battery energy storage system for later as a reserve for nighttime use, peak demand periods or periods of low solar production, ensuring a consistent power supply.

How Fuelfix Go-Greener Hybrid Power Systems deliver savings
Modular, scalable and dependable 24/7, Fuelfix hybrid power systems deliver operational efficiencies and savings over traditional standalone gensets via the following features:
- Generator Size
A smaller generator is used delivering savings through lower operational costs. - Hours of Operation
The energy management system only engages the generator when the battery is low. With full charge the HESU15 battery can run for up to two hours before engaging the generator. - Fuel Efficiency
When engaged the generator runs at its most efficient load (75%), delivering fuel savings and extending genset life (approx . 3 times) through elimination of glazing. - Reduced Maintenance
Due to reduced hours of operation, maintenance and refuelling requirements are significantly reduced.
NRW Civil & Mining contacted Fuelfix with an essential project requirement for a remote iron ore mine site in Newman. They needed an efficient and reliable refuelling solution meeting stringent operational standards.
Fuelfix designed a hybrid solution incorporating a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) with a diesel generator.
A long lasting-customer of Fuelfix & Tanks2Go, a leader in the mining industry, approached us to assess the hydrocarbon installations of their newly acquired mine site located north of Port Augusta in Sout Australia.
We developed a plan to ensure the critical infrastructure was operating safely, efficiently and effectively and introduced our innovative battery-powered refuelling solution.
In a first for Western Australia, Cedar Woods launched WA’s first-ever residential community energy sharing network as part of Eglinton Village estate development.
Fuelfix was commissioned to provide a temporary reliable, scalable and low emissions power solution for the project to reduce fuel reliance and resultant emissions. Fuelfix Hybrid Power Systems were the ideal solution for the project.
Black & White – Power & Light (B&W) has been a stalwart in the event management industry since 2009, specialising in providing reliable temporary power and site/safety lighting solutions for some of the most memorable metro and regional events in Western Australia.
They contacted Fuelfix to supply a sustainable and efficient power solution for the the Boorna Waanginny: The Trees Speak event in Perth.
A long lasting-customer of Fuelfix & Tanks2Go, leader in the commercial explosive industry, approached us to conduct the 10 Year Inspections and upgrade of the Transtank T68 self-bunded tank used at their Moranbah QLD site.
During site assessment and development of the scope, it was identified that an exchange tank was required to keep the site operational during the inspection process.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a hybrid power system?
A hybrid power system is a combination of multiple energy sources including renewable sources (like solar or wind) with conventional power sources such as diesel generators. This setup ensures a reliable and continuous power supply by balancing the strengths and weaknesses of each energy source.
What are the benefits of hybrid power systems?
There are several benefits using hybrid power systems over traditional power generators including reduced fuel consumption and operational costs, reduced emissions, and less operational requirements. They provide the customer with a solution that is durable, cost effective, ensure a reliable and continuous power supply with less noise than a traditional diesel generator. Fuelfix hybrid power solutions effectively only require a quarterly refuelling cycle and an annual genset maintenance cycle, enhancing safety on mining, construction and remote area sites with less personnel on site.
Does the hybrid power system uses a generator?
Yes, a smaller generator than the one used in traditional standalone gensets is used for Fuelfix Battery solutions, delivering savings through lower rental and operational costs.
How often does the generator works on hybrid power systems?
The battery only engages the generator when required.
How much can you save using a hybrid power generation system over a traditional diesel generator?
Using a hybrid power generation system can significantly reduce fuel consumption therefore saving a lot of money. Depending on the configuration, hybrid systems can save up to 90% on fuel compared to traditional diesel generators. This results in lower operational and maintenance costs as well as reduced environmental impact. The systems also offer safety and noise reduction benefits.
