An off-grid solar system has no connection to the utility grid. Solar panels charge a battery bank, and an inverter converts that stored power into standard 120 or 240 volt electricity. The system supplies the property entirely on its own, day and night. Off-grid is the configuration for sites the utility grid does not reach, or where running a new line is impractical.
A hybrid solar system connects to the utility grid and carries its own battery storage. Solar power runs the property first, surplus charges the batteries, and whatever is left goes out to the grid. Because the storage sits on site, a hybrid system keeps the property running through a power outage — the main practical difference from grid-tie.
A grid-tie solar system connects to the utility grid and has no batteries. The panels supply the property directly while the sun is up, and the grid covers the rest, which makes it the simplest of the three configurations to install. Grid-tie systems switch off during an outage, a safety requirement that protects the crews repairing the lines.
