An on-grid solar system, also known as a grid-tied system, is connected to the local utility grid, allowing you to generate solar energy while still accessing the grid when needed. At Samar Enterprises, we provide high-performance on-grid solar systems that enable homeowners and businesses to save on electricity costs while maintaining a reliable energy supply.

An off-grid solar system operates independently of the utility grid, offering complete energy independence. At Samar Enterprises, we specialize in designing off-grid solar systems for remote locations or for customers seeking total energy self-reliance. These systems typically include battery storage to ensure you have power even when the sun isn’t shining.

Aspect On-Grid Solar Panel Off-Grid Solar Panel
Connection Connected to the public electricity grid Completely independent from the public grid
Power Source Solar panels + grid (draws from grid when solar is insufficient) Solar panels + battery storage (no connection to grid)
Energy Storage No need for battery storage, excess energy is sent to the grid Requires battery storage to store excess energy
Electricity Availability Dependent on the grid during night or cloudy days Electricity available anytime if enough battery capacity
Grid Outages Power outage affects the system Not affected by grid outages, self-sufficient power
Maintenance Less maintenance (no batteries to maintain) Higher maintenance (batteries require regular care)
Best For Areas with reliable grid power and net metering Remote locations or areas with unreliable grid access
Reliability Relies on the grid when solar energy is insufficient Fully independent, reliable as long as batteries are charged
