  • Allows net metering (sell extra units)

✅ 2. Hybrid Solar System

  • Great for shops/offices with high electricity usage

  • Works even during power outages (thanks to batteries)

  • More expensive, but gives full energy independence

❌ 3. Off-Grid Solar System

  • Not recommended unless you are in a remote area with no electricity access
