Solar system

1. Difference between Off grid & On grid Solar system Aspects On-Grid Off-grid Are connected to the electricity grid. They generate power during the day and give excess power back into the grid. When the solar panels are not generating electricity, the system takes power from the grid Are non-dependent on the grid. They store excess energy in batteries and rely completely on this stored energy for power when the sun is not shining Connection to the Grid Do not require batteries to store excess energy for use during cloudy days or at night Require batteries to store excess energy for use during cloudy days or at night Energy Storage Less expensive than off-grid More expensive due to the cost of batteries and additional equipment needed for energy storage Cost Maintenance for on-grid systems is generally simpler, as they do not require battery maintenance Requires more maintenance Maintenance When the grid is operating properly, it has a high degree of reliability. They could, however, experience power disruptions if the grid fails Offers reliable energy, even during grid outages, making them suitable for remote or rural areas where grid access is unreliable Assurance of Energy
