On-Grid Solar System

On-grid solar systems are connected to the public electricity grid. They generate electricity from solar panels, which is then used to power your property. Excess electricity is fed back into the grid, and a bi-directional meter records the energy you export, often earning you credits through net metering. During low solar production periods, your property automatically draws electricity from the grid, ensuring a constant power supply without the need for battery storage[2][3][4].

• Connected to the electricity grid
• No battery required
• Lower installation and maintenance costs
• Earn credits for excess energy via net metering
• Best for urban and suburban areas with reliable grid access[4]

Off-Grid Solar System

Off-grid solar systems are independent of the public electricity grid. They use solar panels to generate electricity, which is stored in batteries for use when the sun is not shining. These systems are ideal for remote locations without grid access but require more maintenance and higher upfront costs due to battery storage[4][7].

• Not connected to the electricity grid
• Requires battery storage for energy
• Higher installation and maintenance costs
• Provides energy independence
• Best for remote locations or areas with unreliable grid access[4][7]
