Solar energy is a topic that is gaining more attention and followers every day. After all, to give you an idea, according to data from Brazilian Association of Photovoltaic Solar Energy (Absolar), Brazil appears in 4th place in the ranking of countries that added the most solar photovoltaic capacity in 2021.
Therefore, public and private companies, homes, industries, and clubs are embracing solar energy production. After all, it offers a range of benefits, especially when we analyze the cost-benefit ratio.
However, when it comes to installation, it is common for many questions to arise about the differences between the photovoltaic solar generation systems available on the market.
Did you know there are three different types of photovoltaic solar generation systems? Below, we'll explore their characteristics: on-grid, off-grid and hybrid. Happy reading!
On-grid photovoltaic system
When the customer installs photovoltaic solar energy on-grid means that it will remain connected to the energy grid — even after producing its own.
Thus, the owner uses the solar energy produced by it, and the excess load is delivered to the concessionaire, which, in turn, provides credits that can be exchanged for discounts over a period of up to 60 months.
On the other hand, if the property can't produce enough solar energy in a month, the utility company will cover the remainder. In this case, the owner only pays for what they use.
Off-grid photovoltaic system
In the case of the photovoltaic system off-grid, the user operates completely autonomously, no longer connected to the public grid. Therefore, this alternative is widely used in rural areas and places where power supply is difficult to access.
You may be wondering:
— But what happens to the excess energy generated?
The extra energy is stored in batteries to be used on cloudy and rainy days or at night when sunlight is not available.
Thus, the great advantage of the photovoltaic system off-grid It's autonomy. After all, you generate your own energy and don't depend on the utility company.

Hybrid photovoltaic system
The hybrid photovoltaic system is the combination of on-grid with the off-grid. This means you'll remain connected to the public grid, but you'll also be able to store the extra energy generated by your home or business.
The great benefits of the hybrid photovoltaic system are the significant reduction in the energy bill (much more than in the on-grid) and the supply of energy when the electrical grid fails, including at night.
