Solar energy has become an increasingly popular source of electricity in recent years, with homeowners and businesses alike seeking ways to reduce their reliance on traditional power sources. While grid-tied solar systems have been the norm, an increasing number of people are now choosing to go off-grid, thanks to the affordability and efficiency of solar energy and advancements in battery technology. In this article, we’ll compare grid-tied and off-grid solar, and provide a list of reasons why people may want to go off-grid
Grid-tied solar systems are connected to the utility grid and allow homeowners to generate their own electricity using solar panels while also remaining connected to the grid for backup power. The excess power generated by the solar panels can be fed back into the grid for credits on the homeowner’s utility bill through net metering. Grid-tied solar systems are less expensive upfront and require less maintenance, but the homeowner is still subject to utility company regulations and power outages.
Off-grid solar systems, on the other hand, are designed to be entirely self-sufficient, generating and storing their own electricity using solar panels and batteries. These systems are ideal for homeowners or businesses that are located in remote areas or for those who want complete energy independence. While off-grid systems can be more expensive upfront and require more maintenance, they offer greater energy independence and reduce reliance on the utility grid, making them more resilient during power outages and emergencies.
