The client's most asked question.
What is Ongrid, Offgrid and Hybrid Solar Systems?
So here's a simple explanation of on-grid, off-grid, and hybrid solar systems:

1. On-grid Solar System:
An on-grid solar system, also known as grid-tied or grid-connected system, is connected to the local utility grid.
It generates electricity from solar panels during the day and feeds any excess electricity back into the grid.
When solar production is insufficient (like during the night), electricity is drawn from the grid.
On-grid systems often utilize net metering, where excess electricity generated during sunny periods is credited, reducing the electricity bill.
2. Off-grid Solar System:
An off-grid solar system operates independently of the utility grid.
It typically includes solar panels, batteries for energy storage, and sometimes a backup generator.
Off-grid systems are common in remote areas where connecting to the grid is impractical or expensive.
Electricity generated by the solar panels is stored in batteries for use when the sun isn't shining.
3. Hybrid Solar System:
A hybrid solar system combines elements of both on-grid and off-grid systems.
It is connected to the grid but also has battery storage capabilities.
During times of excess solar production, the system can store energy in batteries for later use instead of feeding it back into the grid.
Hybrid systems offer the advantage of energy independence while still having access to the grid as a backup or for times when solar production is insufficient.
