Off Grid Solar System
Off-Grid Solar System: Operates independently from the utility grid. It requires batteries to store energy and continues to work during power outages.
How it Works:
- Solar Panels: Capture sunlight to generate electricity.
- Charge Controller: Regulates the energy stored in batteries.
- Battery Bank: Stores excess energy for use when sunlight is unavailable.
- Inverter: Converts stored DC energy from the batteries into usable AC electricity.
- Usage: Power is supplied to appliances and devices, even when there's no grid power.
On Grid Solar System
On-Grid Solar System: Connected to the utility grid. Excess electricity generated by the solar panels is sent back to the grid, but there is no backup during power outages.
How it Works:
- Solar Panels: Generate electricity from sunlight.
- Inverter: Converts DC electricity to AC for use in your home.
- Grid Connection: Excess electricity is exported to the utility grid, and you can use grid power when needed.
- Net Metering: The system tracks how much electricity is sent to the grid, and you receive credits on your bill.
In summary
- Off-grid systems provide independence and backup power but require battery storage.
- On-grid systems rely on the utility grid and do not function during outages unless combined with batteries.
