On-Grid / Hybrid Systems
Choosing the Right On-Grid / Hybrid Inverter for Your Needs
You will be needing to change your existing electricity meter into the Green Meter which is designed for net-metering purpose.
Net Metering works with both On-Grid and Hybrid systems, but not with Off-Grid systems (since off-grid has no grid connection).
Here’s the breakdown:
- On-Grid Systems
- Fully connected to the grid.
- Net Metering is most common here because any surplus solar power you generate is directly exported to the grid, and you receive credits on your bill.
- These systems stop working during outages (for safety reasons).
- Hybrid Systems
- Connected to the grid + also have batteries for backup.
- Net Metering is possible here too — just like on-grid — but with the added benefit that you also have stored energy in case of load shedding or blackouts.
- This makes hybrid a more flexible and reliable choice for areas with frequent outages.
When investing in an on-grid or hybrid solar system, the most important decision is choosing the right inverter capacity. At AES, we simplify this choice by offering 5kW, 10kW, and 15kW inverters—the most practical and reliable options for homes and businesses in Pakistan.
5kW Inverter – Ideal for Small to Medium Homes
A 5kW inverter comfortably powers the average household, running essentials like fans, lights, refrigerators, LED TVs, and a few air conditioners. If your family uses moderate electricity and you’re looking to reduce bills while securing backup during load-shedding, 5kW is often the most cost-effective choice.
10kW Inverter – Perfect for Larger Homes or Small Businesses
With double the capacity, a 10kW inverter suits bigger homes with multiple ACs, washing machines, and other heavy appliances. It’s also ideal for small offices, shops, and clinics where uninterrupted power is critical. This setup balances performance with scalability, making it a strong mid-range investment.
15kW Inverter – Built for Heavy Loads and Commercial Use
For villas, large houses, or commercial facilities with high daily consumption—such as schools, restaurants, or workshops—the 15kW inverter delivers robust, round-the-clock performance. It supports multiple heavy appliances simultaneously while reducing reliance on the grid.
AES Recommendation:
- Homes with normal use → 5kW
- Larger homes/small businesses → 10kW
- High-demand households or commercial setups → 15kW
At AES, we’ll help you select and install the inverter that perfectly matches your lifestyle and energy goals.
