On-grid systems—connected to the electrical grid, and the generated energy (or generation surplus) is injected directly into the grid. Off-grid systems—no physical connection to the electrical grid, with the generated energy used only for house/village consumption. Hybrid systems—use more than one power source.
Moreover, energy efficiency and off-grid systems are a cost-effective strategy for a fast increase the number of people with energy access, as well as a way to fulfil the United Nations ...
