Solar Solutions Explained

Understand the difference between on-grid, off-grid, and hybrid solar systems before choosing the right solution for your home or business.

01

On-Grid Solar System

An on-grid solar system is connected directly to the electricity grid. Solar power is first used for local consumption, and excess power can be exported to the grid through net metering where applicable.

It does not use batteries. For safety reasons, the system usually shuts down during a power cut.

Best for

Homes, commercial buildings, and industries with regular grid connection.

Benefits

  • Reduces EB bills
  • Suitable for net metering where applicable
  • Lower maintenance
  • Good option for regular grid-connected properties

Off-Grid Solar System

An off-grid solar system operates independently without connection to the electricity grid. It uses batteries to store solar energy for use during night time, cloudy periods, or power cuts.

Best for

Locations with weak, unreliable, or unavailable grid supply.

Benefits

  • Battery backup
  • Independent power usage
  • Useful for remote locations
  • Better power availability during outages

Hybrid Solar System

A hybrid solar system combines both grid connection and battery storage. Solar power is used for loads, excess energy can charge batteries or export to the grid where applicable, and stored energy can support usage during outages.

Best for

Customers who want solar savings along with backup support.

Benefits

  • Grid connection
  • Battery backup
  • Better reliability
  • Flexible power usage
  • Suitable for homes and businesses needing backup
