If load-shedding is a problem in your area, the system type matters. Here's the difference.
On-grid systems are the most affordable (a 5 kW on-grid is about Rs 4.5–5.5 lakh) and have the fastest payback, but they shut down during an outage for safety — so they give no backup during load-shedding.
Hybrid systems add a battery, keeping your essentials running when the grid is down. A 5 kW hybrid costs about Rs 6.2–7.5 lakh; a 10 kW hybrid around Rs 10–12 lakh.
If your area has frequent or long outages, the extra cost of a hybrid is usually worth it. If supply is mostly stable, on-grid gives the best return.
We help you choose based on your area's load-shedding pattern, your budget and how much backup you actually need.
