3 types of solar systems are mainly used in rooftop solar plants in Kerala

Off grid solar power system

In an off-grid PV system, power output from solar panels is stored in batteries, making it more expensive, system size depends mainly on the power rating of appliances how long you run them

On grid solar system

Since the power output is connected to the grid without battery storage, grid-connected solar PV systems are more popular now due to the low maintenance and installation cost. On-grid PV solar system size to be decided based on your annual power consumption and future demand

Hybrid solar system

A hybrid system is similar to an on-grid system with solar energy storage. The hybrid inverter has a DC power output to charge the storage batteries, since grid-connected system does not produce energy during KSEB power failures as a safety precaution, the hybrid solar system generates power and recharges the batteries during such a scenario
