Compare Solar System Topologies
Every home and commercial facility in Pakistan has unique power priorities and grid reliability conditions.
1. On-Grid Solar System (Net-Metering)
Directly synchronized with the utility grid (LESCO, IESCO, FESCO, K-Electric). Features bi-directional green Net-Metering to export excess units back to the grid and reduce monthly utility bills to near zero.
- Highest Return on Investment (ROI in 2.2 - 2.8 Years)
- Zero battery cost or replacement overhead
- Net-Metering export credits on electricity bills
- Ideal for homes, commercial plazas, and factories
2. Off-Grid Standalone Solar System
100% independent standalone solar power plant equipped with heavy-duty battery storage. Operates completely detached from the grid, generating, storing, and supplying clean energy day and night.
- Complete freedom from grid power and tariff hikes
- Deep cycle Tubular or Lithium (LiFePO4) storage
- Uninterrupted 24/7 power in remote locations
- Suitable for farmhouses, agricultural sites & villas
3. Smart Hybrid Solar System
The ultimate dual-mode solar system. Combines daytime grid-tied savings and Net-Metering exports with instant battery backup failover during load shedding and power outages.
- Net-Metering bill reduction + Zero blackout backup
- Automatic instantaneous power failover (< 10ms)
- Smart load priority (Solar → Battery → Grid)
- Best choice for residential villas in Pakistan
