On-grid
Sunlight powers daytime use. The grid supports demand when solar is insufficient.
Standard on-grid offers no power-cut backup.

Systems
Look at daytime consumption, evening use, power cuts and budget together. The right system follows from those needs.

Question 1 of 5
Is there a grid connection at the site?
Side by side
| On-grid | Hybrid | Off-grid | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Works in an outage | No | Selected circuits; subject to charge and capacity | Subject to load, charge and system design |
| Battery | None | Sized to the loads you name | Sized to the whole site |
| Net metering | Yes | Yes | No grid, so none |
| PM Surya Ghar subsidy, homes | Yes | Solar side only | No |
| Cost per kW | Lowest | Higher; the battery adds | Highest |
| Best for | Most homes and businesses on a working grid | Outage-prone areas, work from home, medical and cold loads | No grid, weak-grid villages, farms, remote and backup-critical sites |

Choosing a system
No. A working on-grid system remains useful. Consider storage when evening use or backup matters. Compare added cost with your needs.
Standard on-grid shuts down with the grid. Backup requires a suitable inverter, compatible charged battery and separate circuits. Hybrid supplies the loads selected in its design.
Usable energy, starting charge, reserve and load determine runtime. We estimate for your appliance list. More running appliances reduce available time.
Yes, with a system designed for the load. Check running power, starting demand and simultaneous appliances. Both battery capacity and inverter power matter.
Not to every system. Equipment, wiring, metering, approvals and warranties need checks. Some parts may stay; others may change. An upgrade review identifies options.
Inverter transfer time and the computer’s tolerance need checking. Sensitive equipment may still need a dedicated UPS alongside hybrid solar.
LFP needs no water topping. Installation, temperature and periodic checks still matter. Life and performance depend on use and manufacturer conditions.
Eligible residential grid-connected hybrid may receive assistance based on solar capacity. Battery cost does not increase central assistance. Current rules and approvals apply.
Your approved tariff sets the rates. Self-use, bill credits and payment for residual surplus are different. We compare using your connection’s rules.
Most hybrids retain it. Long outages, heavy loads and low sunlight can exhaust storage. Full off-grid operation needs a separate design and budget.
Solar can provide charging energy. Speed depends on the vehicle, charger and available power. DC alone is not faster; compatible controlled charging equipment is needed.
The customer RMS app is not released yet. Call/WhatsApp for available readings and service. Battery readings depend on equipment and connectivity.
