About Lotus

Lotus''s most far-reaching impact has been in the country of Nepal, home of Mount Everest and the Himalayan Mountains, including installing an off-grid solar power system for the "Highest hospital on Earth" at Mount Everest. Lotus Energy is among the few most experienced and trusted sources for battery backup and off-grid solar systems.

Excess electricity problem in off-grid hybrid renewable energy systems

When the HRES is integrated with the utility grid, the generated surplus power after charging the storage units can be injected into the grid, which leads to near-zero excess electricity [4] these systems, purchasing electricity from the grid can lead to peak-shaving, which causes less surplus electricity generation from the HRES.
