Sine 2012, ESS has been installing rooftop solar photovoltaic PV systems in the Seychelles. Therefore, we have experience with grid-tied roof top solar PV system. Also we are an approved installer by the Seychelles Energy Commission and Public Utility Corporation.
A hybrid system uses both the grid and batteries. Currently, Seychelles has a net metering policy where electricity produced by your solar photovoltaic PV systems is recorded to a separate meter. PUC then credits your electricity bill at the end of each month.
A grid-connect solar photovoltaic PV system are installed at your premise and use the PUC electrical grid network to feedback electricity produced by your system. For stand-along, off-grid or battery back up system PV systems which are independent of the PUC network and use battery storage see our off-grid solar PV page.

The Republic of Seychelles is no exception, with its electricity and transportation sectors almost completely dependent on imported oil. This has exposed its economy to global fuel supply chain risks and raised concerns...See more on ethz gennergyps [PDF]
