On-Grid vs. Hybrid Solar Inverters—Which One is Best for Pakistan?

Introduction

Solar energy is transforming the way Pakistan generates electricity. With rising power prices and frequent load-shedding, more households and businesses are turning to solar power. But one of the most common questions people ask before buying a solar system is

“Should I choose an on-grid inverter or a hybrid inverter?”

At IMH Technologies, we are proud to be a wholesale dealer of Inverex in Pakistan. We supply 100% genuine Inverex solar inverters, panels, and lithium batteries with warranty and ready stock. In this guide, we’ll explain the difference between on-grid and hybrid inverters, their pros and cons, and which option is best for Pakistan.

What is an on-grid solar inverter?

An on-grid inverter (also called a grid-tied inverter) connects directly to the national electricity grid.

How it works:

• Solar panels produce electricity during the day.

• The inverter converts solar energy into usable AC electricity.

• If extra power is generated, it is sent back to the grid through net metering.

• Electricity is drawn from the grid when solar power is insufficient, such as at night.

Advantages of On-Grid Inverters:

• The cost of On-Grid Inverters is significantly lower than that of hybrid systems.

• Works well in areas with a stable electricity supply.

• Net metering allows users to save money by selling extra electricity to the grid.

• Efficient performance in urban areas.

Limitations of On-Grid Inverters:

• They do not work during load-shedding because they depend on the grid.

• They do not provide backup power unless they are paired with batteries.

What is a hybrid solar inverter?

A hybrid inverter combines the features of on-grid and off-grid inverters. It works with both the grid and batteries, giving users flexibility.

How it works:

• Solar panels power your home or business during the day.

• Extra energy can either charge the lithium batteries or be sent to the grid.

• During load-shedding or at night, batteries provide backup power.

Advantages of Hybrid Inverters:

• Uninterrupted power supply even during load-shedding.

• Can store energy in lithium batteries for later use.

• Still allows net metering to reduce bills.

• Best suited for areas with frequent power outages.

Limitations of Hybrid Inverters:

• Hybrid inverters tend to be more expensive than their on-grid counterparts.

• Requires investment in batteries, which increases the overall system price.
