UPS Prevents Unplanned Interruptions and Reduces Costs in Solar Energy Generation Connected to the Distribution Grid Compared to Standalone Models
Despite the impacts caused by the pandemic, the Brazilian solar energy market continues to grow and shows excellent prospects. According to the Brazilian Association of Photovoltaic Solar Energy (ABSOLAR), nearly R$ 16 billion in new investments were made last year, with the installation of approximately 3,152.9 megawatts (MW) of photovoltaic solar energy sources.

Due to this scenario, companies in the solar sector are already discussing and seeking alternatives to keep pace with this growth and improve operational performance, increase energy efficiency, avoid unplanned interruptions, and reduce costs of these projects.
UPS Improves Efficiency of Solar Energy Systems
According to Pedro Al Shara, CEO of TS Shara, the UPS is an alternative to improve the efficiency of photovoltaic energy systems, working parallel to the modules and inverters. Known as an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), it activates if the solar radiation captured is insufficient to supply the location or if any external agent interferes with the operation of the on-grid and off-grid systems that integrate this ecosystem.

“When there is no converted energy available for use, the on-grid model starts being powered by the public electrical grid. At this time, the UPS is responsible for filtering the electricity that arrives at the electronic devices in the location, protecting them from disturbances such as short-circuits or undervoltage. In the off-grid system, in addition to continuing to maintain a more stable and clean grid, the UPS has an additional function: it provides the necessary energy, previously stored in its batteries, to ensure supply during periods without sunlight or at night,” explains Al Shara.
Furthermore, another important point to remember is that outdated energy systems affect operations and increase the likelihood of errors and unplanned downtime. “Therefore, installing a network of UPS systems that provide access and instant support to critical operational information, for example, is a good strategy to manage these systems, as the impacts derived from this lack delay both the companies’ actions and those of end users,” concludes Al Shara.
