Technical FAQs 4

What is the difference between on grid and off grid solar?

One major difference between on grid and off grid solar is that the former is more economical whereas the latter is expensive and has 24*7 battery backup. Also, compare their costs for a 20kW system. It is a combination of both on and off-grid solar systems as it is connected to the grid and has a battery backup too.

What is the difference between off-grid and hybrid solar systems?

Off-grid systems, on the other hand, operate independently of the grid and rely on a battery bank for power. Hybrid systems combine elements of both on-grid and off-grid setups, offering flexibility and reliability. On-grid solar systems, also known as grid-tied systems, are connected to the utility grid.

Should I go off-grid or a solar system?

For energy freedom, go with off-grid. An On Grid Solar System connects directly to the utility grid, allowing you to use solar energy while staying linked to the main power supply. This system ensures a seamless flow of electricity between your solar panels and the grid.

Should I choose a hybrid or on-grid Solar System?

On-grid systems are great if you have reliable grid power. Off-grid systems work well in remote areas or where grid connection isn't possible. Hybrid systems offer backup power while staying connected to the grid. Consult a solar professional to determine the best option for you.
