On-grid
Connected to the utility grid, exports surplus via net metering. Lowest cost and fastest payback, but no backup during outages.
Off-grid
Fully independent with batteries. Best for remote locations without reliable grid supply. Higher cost due to batteries.
Hybrid
Combines grid export with battery backup. Ideal where power cuts are frequent and you want both savings and reliability.
Quick recommendation
- Reliable grid & savings focus → On-grid
- No grid → Off-grid
- Frequent outages → Hybrid
