On a hot, sunny day, the panels provide more than enough power and the electrical engineer is constantly monitoring his system's performance.
"If there's solar panel energy, it switches to solar panel, but when the panel does not have any energy, it switches to hydro Quebec automatically," he said.
To keep it simple, the system doesn't use a battery, and the sun's power is sent directly to the air conditioner. "The solar panel cable goes up and all around and goes to the solar panels on the roof where the electrical one, it goes in the house, and it connects to your normal electrical distribution panel," he said. Typically, those appliances run on hydroelectric power, but Nguyen's is a hybrid. And unlike many of his neighbours, his electricity bill is low.Ī man from Montreal's Saint-Laurent borough believes he has a solution to hydro consumption from air conditions, fans and heat pumps after creating a hybrid solar system that he says cuts energy use. The sun may be beating down outside, but inside Trung Nguyen's house, it's cool.
