  • Lowest maintenance costs
  • Exchange excess energy with the utility grid
  • Reduce the burden of high tariff electricity bills, year on year tariff increase (avg. 2%)
  • Can be upgraded to a Hybrid Solar PV system
  • Higher efficiency than Off-Grid systems since it is grid dependent
  • Disadvantages

  • Does not have a backup for electricity outage
  • Since it is dependent on the utility grid there is no power during an outage
