Why Go Solar?
- Environment friendly (Pollution free and causes no green house gases)
- Limited/No-Reliance on Grid (Reduced dependency on oil and fossil fuels)
- Low cost of power generation (Reduces utility bills)
- Low maintenance costs

Hybrid Solar System with Energy Storage
Sourceable, free and healthy energy for all
Hybrid solar systems combine the best from grid-tied and off-grid solar systems. These systems can either be described as off-grid solar with utility backup power, or grid-tied solar with extra battery storage.
Advantage of Hybrid Solar Systems
Less expensive than off-gird solar systems
Hybrid solar systems are less expensive than off-grid solar systems. You don’t really need a backup generator, and the capacity of your battery bank can be downsized. Off-peak electricity from the utility company is cheaper than diesel.
Equipment for Off-Grid Solar Systems
Typical off-grid solar systems require the following extra components:
- Solar Panels
- Solar Charge Controller
- Battery Bank
- DC Disconnect (additional)
- Off-Grid Inverter
- Backup Generator (optional)
Grid-Tied Solar Systems
Save big on your electricity bills
Grid-tied, on-grid, utility-interactive, grid intertie and grid back-feeding are all terms used to describe the same concept – a solar system that is connected to the utility power grid.
Advantages of Grid-Tied Systems
- Save more money with net metering
A grid-connection will allow you to save more money with solar panels through better efficiency rates, net metering, plus lower equipment and installation costs:
Batteries, and other stand-alone equipment, are required for a fully functional off-grid solar system and add to costs as well as maintenance. Grid-tied solar systems are therefore generally cheaper and simpler to install.
Your solar panels will often generate more electricity than what you are capable of consuming. With net metering, homeowners can put this excess electricity onto the utility grid instead of storing it themselves with batteries. Net metering (or feed-in tariff schemes in some countries) plays an important role in how solar power is incentivized. Without it, solar systems would be much less feasible from a financial point of view.
Equipment for Grid-Tied Solar Systems
There are a few key differences between the equipment needed for grid-tied, off-grid and hybrid solar systems. Standard grid-tied solar systems rely on the following components:
- Solar Panels
- Grid-Tie Inverters
- Net metering enabled meter
Off-Grid Stand Alone System Configuration
Explore your energy savings potential
An off-grid solar system (off-the-grid, standalone) is the obvious alternative to one that is grid-tied. For homeowners that have access to the grid, off-grid solar systems are usually out of question. Here`s why:
To ensure access to electricity at all times, off-grid solar systems require battery storage and a backup generator (if you live off-the-grid). On top of this, a battery bank typically needs to be replaced after 5 years. Batteries are complicated, expensive and decrease overall system efficiency.
Advantages of Off-Grid Solar Systems
- No access to the utility grid
Off-grid solar systems can be cheaper than extending power lines in certain remote areas.
- Become energy self-sufficient
Living off the grid and being self-sufficient feels good. For some people, this feeling is worth more than saving money. Energy self-sufficiency is also a form of security. Power failures on the utility grid do not affect off-grid solar systems.
However, batteries can only store a certain amount of energy, and during cloudy times, being connected to the grid is actually where the security is. One should install a backup generator to be prepared for these kinds of situations.
Equipment for Hybrid Solar Systems
Typical hybrid solar systems are based on the following additional components:
- Solar Panels
- Charge Controller
- Battery Bank
- DC Disconnect (additional)
- Battery-Based Off-Grid Inverter
- Power Meter
