On-grid solar
An on-grid system generates power only when the utility grid is available, and must connect to the grid to work. Excess power is exported to the grid and credited for later use. It is the simplest and most cost-effective system to install in towns.
Off-grid solar
An off-grid system stores solar power in batteries, so critical loads keep running when the grid fails or where there is no grid connection at all.
Hybrid solar
A hybrid system powers your loads and charges batteries at the same time. If the grid goes off it switches to the batteries, so you can use solar power whether or not the grid is available.
Solar water pumps
A solar water pump runs on electricity from PV panels instead of grid electricity or diesel.
Solar street lights
Solar street lights are standalone off-grid systems. Power generated by the panel during the day is stored in a battery and used at night.
