On-Grid vs Off - Grid Solar System

Comparison Diagram

🔌 On-Grid Solar System

On-grid solar systems are connected to the public electricity grid and do not require battery storage. These systems are highly cost-effective and are ideal for areas with minimal power outages.

  • Connected to the utility grid
  • Excess power is sent to the grid (net metering)
  • Reduces electricity bills significantly
  • Low installation and maintenance cost

🔋 Off-Grid Solar System

Off-grid systems are entirely independent from the utility grid. They use solar batteries to store energy generated during the day for use at night or during cloudy weather. These systems are perfect for remote areas.

  • Complete energy independence
  • Requires battery bank for storage
  • Suitable for rural or remote areas
  • Ensures uninterrupted power supply

  • Government offices & schools
  • Apartment complexes
  • Factories with high daytime usage
  • Shops & hospitals
Off-Grid Solar Use Cases

Perfect for remote villages, agricultural farms, telecom towers, and areas with no or unreliable grid connectivity.

  • Rural houses or communities
  • Remote schools or clinics
  • Outdoor lighting & CCTV
