The optimum results for off-grid hybrid systems show that the wind-solar-BS systems require less battery storage capacity and so can be realised at a lower cost than wind-BS and solar-BS systems (Panayio-tou et al., 2012; Sanajaoba and Fernandez, 2016).
In November 2003, the South African Government published the White Paper on Renewable Energy setting a target of 10,000 GWh renewable energy contribution to final energy consumption by 2013, to be produced mainly from biomass, wind, solar and small-scale hydro. This meant approximately 4% of the projected electricity demand for 2013.
The future of renewable energy in South Africa is bright, with solar and wind power playing a crucial role in the country''s energy transition. The continued development of hybrid systems that combine solar and wind energy is expected to further enhance the reliability and efficiency of renewable energy solutions.

The annual 24-hour global solar radiation average is about 220 W/m2 for South Africa, compared with about 150 W/m2 for parts of the USA, and about 100 W/m2 for Europe and the United Kingdom. This makes South Africa''s local resource one of the highest in the world. The use of solar energy is the most readily accessible resource in South Africa.
By harnessing both solar and wind energy, South Africa can maximize its renewable energy potential. This dual approach allows for greater overall energy production, contributing to the national grid and reducing the need for fossil fuel-based power generation. Hybrid renewable energy systems combine solar and wind power, often with energy
