On-Grid Solar System
An on-grid solar system, also known as a grid-tied or grid-connected system, is designed to work in conjunction with the existing utility grid. This type of solar system generates electricity from sunlight using photovoltaic (PV) panels, and the generated power is fed into the utility grid. During periods of low sunlight or high energy demand, electricity can be drawn from the grid. Conversely, when the solar system generates more electricity than needed, the excess power is exported to the grid, often earning credits or compensation through net metering or feed-in tariffs. On-grid solar systems are popular for their simplicity, efficiency, and potential for cost savings through reduced utility bills.

Off-Grid Solar System
Off-Grid Solar System
An off-grid solar system, also known as a standalone or independent system, operates independently of the utility grid. This type of solar system is designed to provide electricity in remote or off-grid locations where access to the utility grid is limited or unavailable. The solar panels generate electricity during daylight hours, which is stored in batteries for use during periods of low sunlight or at night. Off-grid solar systems require careful sizing and planning to ensure sufficient energy storage capacity to meet the electricity demands of the property throughout the day and night. Off-grid solar systems are popular for their ability to provide electricity in remote areas and for their independence from utility companies.
Hybrid Solar System
A hybrid solar system combines the features of both on-grid and off-grid solar systems, offering the flexibility of grid-tied operation with the added resilience of battery storage. In a hybrid solar system, solar panels generate electricity during the day, which can be used to power the property’s electrical loads, charge batteries for energy storage, or be exported to the grid. During periods of low sunlight or high energy demand, electricity can be drawn from the grid or from battery storage. Hybrid solar systems are ideal for properties that experience intermittent grid outages or want to maximise self-consumption of solar energy while still having access to grid power as a backup. These systems offer the benefits of reduced electricity bills, energy independence, and backup power capability.
