Technical FAQs 4

What is the difference between grid-tied and off-grid solar?

Grid-tied solar systems are connected to the utility electricity grid and often use net metering, allowing excess energy to be fed back to the grid. Off-grid solar systems operate independently, relying solely on sunlight and battery banks for energy storage, making them ideal for self-sufficiency.

What is an off-grid Solar System?

An off-grid solar system is a solar panel system that has no connection to the utility grid at all. To keep a house running off-grid, you need solar panels, a significant amount of battery storage, and usually another backup power source, like a gas-powered generator.

What is an off-grid solar PV system?

An off-grid solar PV system is independent of the grid and provides freedom from power quality issues and electricity billing. It accumulates excess energy in battery storage units and provides support to load during sudden changes in a closed network.

What is an on grid Solar System?

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. When your solar panels produce more energy than you need, the excess electricity flows back into the grid.
