Claim:
1. A system for controlling power utilization from hybrid energy sources, said system comprising: a plurality of switches for switching power supply between a plurality of power sources, said power sources being selected from the group consisting of at least one solar panel, at least one diesel generator and a power grid; a control unit cooperating with said switches, said power sources and a plurality of loads, said control unit adapted to selectively activate/deactivate said switches to switch between said power sources for supplying power from at least one of said power sources to said loads, wherein the activation/deactivation of each switch is based on a levelized cost of energy (LCOE), the available power from each power source and loading of at least one of said power sources; said control unit further adapted to prevent back-feeding of power between said power sources; and an inverter cooperating with said solar panel and said control unit, said inverter adapted to supply power from said solar panel to said loads, said control unit further adapted to control the amount of power being transferred from said inverter to said loads.
