Grid Tie vs Off-Grid vs Hybrid Solar System
Grid Tie vs Off-Grid vs Hybrid Solar System Solar systems can be confusing. Choosing the correct system for your home and desired outcome takes careful planning. We explain the major differences between a Grid Tied, Off-Grid, and Hybrid solar system. Grid tied ( On-Grid ) In a grid tied system , the solar power is paralleled with utility. The 2 run synchronously and the major benefit of such system is that your load will always consume the solar power generated first. Example 1 The demand (kW) in your home at a particular time is, lets say, [...]

Off grid Solar – How it works
Power without the Grid, Back-Up An Off grid Solar system is designed to power your home or business when there is no state utility (Eskom). Either as Back-Up or fully off grid, these systems utilise batteries to store power. An Inverter changes the DC charge to AC which in-turn powers things up. SolarXgen specialises in both forms of Off Grid systems , Back-Up and Stand Alone systems. Off Grid Solar for "Load-Shedding" A back-up power system is typically installed to curb power outages during load shedding. Batteries are charged, through a charge-controller, by either - Solar panels or Eskom (or a [...]
