Grid-Tied

  • System is ideal if your main goal is to cut your electricity costs.
  • System only consists of an Inverter (must be capable to be used as Grid-Tied Inverter) and Solar Panels.
  • The PV power is fed into the load to supplement the Eskom Feed.
  • System will however shut down if there is a power failure because it cannot operate without Eskom.
  • Any additional power produced by the system is lost if the load drawn is less than what can be provided.
  • Ideal for commercial clients.

Off-Grid

  • Systems have no connection to the Eskom Grid.
  • Power generated by the Solar Panels is used to power the system.
  • Any extra power is stored inside batteries.
  • The batteries are then used at night or when die Solar PV panels can not be used.
  • Batteries can be pricey and for that reason only essential appliances will be connected to the system to prevent battery damage.
  • Ideal in remote areas where Eskom electricity is not available.
