Benefits
Follows the load profile more closely
Benefits of a combined system:Evens out the large peaks and troughs of power generation Allows for a smaller battery and generator usageExtends battery lifeBetter match of generation and load
Future
Making use of hydrogen for water heating or cookingFurther Reduce Dependency on imported fuels by:
Introduction of Electric vehiclesFurther electrification introduction of low wattage heaters and heat pumpsConversion from gas cooking to electric
