Solar power stations (SPS) with solar panels are in themselves an efficient source of electricity, but energy is also required to ensure their uninterrupted power supply and stability. Diesel generators are usually used for this purpose, as they are the best stand-alone backup source of electricity. A diesel generator complements solar panels by compensating for the variable nature of solar generation.
At Dalgakiran, you can find and order reliable generator equipment for solar power stations of any type and size. We supply turnkey stationary diesel generators from Dalgakiran and Cummins Inc. with capacities ranging from 16.5 to 3,750 kVA (13–3,000 kW). This equipment is designed to provide backup, emergency or continuous off-grid power supply to industrial facilities, office and shopping centres, warehouse complexes, banking institutions and other buildings and businesses. Our power stations are also fitted with controllers compatible with Huawei ENcombi inverters and inverters from other manufacturers for solar power stations.
How diesel generator sets enhance the efficiency of solar power stations
A diesel generator significantly improves the energy efficiency of a solar power station by acting as a reliable backup power source. It supplies power to inverters, monitoring and protection systems, and the plant’s own requirements (lighting, cooling pumps, solar panel tracking mechanisms) at night, during bad weather or on overcast days, when solar panels do not generate sufficient energy. The generator prevents the system from shutting down completely during prolonged periods without sunlight, allows for the optimised use of solar panels during the day, and minimises dependence on the external grid. In off-grid solar power stations in remote locations (deserts, villages without grid connection), the diesel generator is the key element for stable electricity generation.
Types of diesel generators for solar power stations and their features
There are various types and models of diesel generators adapted for use in solar power stations:
Stationary diesel generators with a capacity of 50–2,000 kW and a voltage of 400 V or 6–10 kV — for large industrial solar power stations.
Compact models with a capacity of 10–500 kW and an automatic start-up system (AIS) — for small and medium-sized plants.
Features: high efficiency, low fuel consumption in standby mode, the ability to synchronise with solar panel inverters, and reliability in harsh climatic conditions.
On our website, you can browse Cummins Power generator sets, categorised by engine series, and download detailed technical specifications for most models to help you identify the equipment that best suits your needs.
How diesel generators improve the operational stability of solar power stations
Energy production from solar panels depends on a vast number of factors. A diesel generator provides a stable voltage and frequency for critical components, switches on automatically when solar panel output drops, and enables the plant to be restarted following a complete power cut. It guarantees an uninterrupted power supply at night or during bad weather, and keeps inverters and monitoring systems running. In hybrid systems, the generator is activated only when needed, which optimises fuel consumption and provides a stable source of electricity for commercial solar power stations.
Advantages of using diesel generators for solar power stations
The use of diesel generators for solar power stations offers a number of advantages:
Complete autonomy in remote locations without access to the grid.
Protection of valuable solar panel and inverter equipment from voltage fluctuations.
Extended system lifespan thanks to a stable power supply.
Significant savings on batteries — a diesel generator allows for a reduction in their capacity.
Rapid restoration of operations following accidents or natural disasters.
High power output and energy efficiency as a backup power source.
Flexibility in scaling to suit different types of solar power plants.
The diesel generators in our catalogue are certified to European and Ukrainian standards and are adapted for use with domestic fuel and lubricants.
