Types of solar installations according to their components

Solar energy is a great way to save money and live more sustainably. But what kind of system do we need? Here’s an overview of the main types of solar installations according to their components and application.

🔌 1. On-grid systems (connected to the grid)

Components:

Solar panels
Inverter (converts direct current to alternating current)
Electricity meter / bidirectional electricity meter
Connection to the electrical grid

Suitable for:

Urban and rural homes
Business with daily consumption

Pros:

Lower price (without batteries)
Ability to export electricity to the grid
High efficiency with constant consumption

Cons:

Does not work during a power outage (for safety)

🔋 2. Off-grid systems (completely independent)

Components:

Solar panels
Inverter
Batteries
Charge controller

Suitable for:

Cottages, chalets, caravans
Places without access to the electrical grid

Pros:

Complete energy independence
Ideal for remote sites

Cons:

More expensive (due to batteries)
Require careful charge management

⚡ 3. Hybrid systems (best of both worlds)

Components:

Solar panels
Inverter with a hybrid function
Batteries
Grid connection
Smart control

Suitable for:

Households and businesses with an unstable power supply
Places where power often goes out

Pros:

Have batteries, but also access to the grid
Works during outages
Flexibility and optimization

Cons:

Higher initial investment
