System types

On-Grid, Off-Grid or Hybrid

  • On-grid

    Connected to the utility grid, no battery.

    Panels feed an inverter connected to your building's supply and the utility grid. Solar electricity is used on site first; the grid supplies the rest.

    During a grid outage
    A standard grid-connected inverter switches off for safety, so an on-grid system does not provide backup on its own.
    Often suits
    Sites with a dependable grid supply that want to offset part of their grid consumption.

  • Off-grid

    Runs without a grid connection, with storage.

    Designed to operate without a utility-grid connection. Generation charges batteries that supply the loads when the sun is not available.

    During a grid outage
    Not dependent on the grid. Supply depends on generation, storage capacity and how the system is sized.
    Often suits
    Locations without a dependable or available grid connection.

  • Hybrid

    Grid connection plus battery storage.

    Combines grid connectivity with battery storage, managed by a hybrid inverter. Solar can serve loads, charge the battery or work alongside the grid.

    During a grid outage
    Backup behaviour depends on the system design — typically selected circuits can run from the battery.
    Often suits
    Sites that want to use the grid and also keep stored energy on hand.

How we work

From first call to long-term care

Every site is different, so the time each stage takes depends on the roof, the system and the approvals involved. We'll explain what to expect for yours.

Start with a site assessment

  1. Initial enquiry

    Call, WhatsApp, email or visit our store. Tell us about the site, your electricity use and what you want the system to do.

  2. Site audit

    We look at roof area and condition, orientation, shade, structure and the existing electrical setup.

  3. System design

    We recommend a system type and size, and plan the layout, structure and electrical design around your site.

  4. Approvals & installation

    Net-metering paperwork where it applies, then mounting, panels, cabling, protection and inverter work, inspected before commissioning.

  5. Ongoing maintenance

    Inspection and upkeep after handover to keep the system safe and working as designed.
