In today’s blog post, we will discuss the difference between grid-tied solar inverters and hybrid solar inverters and why it is important for our community members. Why are grid-tied systems creating problems with load shedding? Benefits of on-grid system and when to use hybrid solutions. We will also help you to find out whether you should go for a grid-tied setup or not. Furthermore, we will talk about energy prioritization, make a quick price analysis, and give some specific recommendations related to the ongoing energy crisis in Pakistan as of 2024.

The drawback of Grid-Tied Solar System

In the past, on-grid systems were fine in areas like Bahria Town where load shedding occurred for only a few hours daily. But now, a sudden increase in power outage caught many people off guard. Since on-grid systems are connected to the Wapda grid and are mostly used to reduce electricity bills so when the grid goes down, the system shuts off, leaving you without power even if the sun is shining.

Bahria Town Load shedding

Grid-tight systems work best in places where load shedding is very low. For example, in Bahria Town, load shedding used to be occasional, but now it happens daily. In such places, grid-tied systems solar systems do not work properly. If load shedding occurs one or two hours a day in your area, then you can use a grid-tied system. Otherwise, you should install a hybrid system.

Benefits of On-Grid System

On-grid systems are known for their affordability, longer inverter life, and maintenance-free operations. These systems are perfect for areas with less load shedding as its a one-time investment with a clear return on investment which makes it a practical choice for many people.

Grid-Tied System Feasibility

The grid-tied system can be feasible if the load shedding is frequent in your area. Knowing the limitations of a grid-tied system and analyzing the local power scenario is important to make an informed decision when investing in a grid-tied solar system otherwise hybrid solar system is better.

How to Choose between Hybrid and On-Grid

The decision to opt for a hybrid or an on-grid system depends on the frequency of load shedding in your area. If there is minimal load shedding in your area then definitely go for an on-grid system, it requires almost no maintenance and gives the best return on investment.

But if you are facing too much load shedding especially 8 to 10 hours a day than in that case, go with the hybrid system because hybrids will provide continuous power backup during outages.

Here’s a simplified pros and cons table for clarity:

Pros and Cons of On-Grid Systems:

Pros and Cons of Hybrid Systems:

Who should get a Hybrid System?

A hybrid system is a good choice for those who want power backup and don’t want any interruption during load shedding. The article explains the scenarios in which a hybrid system will be a smart investment for people and they can fulfill their energy needs.

Biggest Problem with Pakistani Grid:

The continuous shutdowns and voltage fluctuation in the Pakistani power grid from 180 to 380 volts are a big issue for solar systems. In such conditions, inverters can get damaged which can significantly reduce the efficiency and life span of solar systems. Sometimes the voltage level goes out of range which is very harmful to the sensitive equipment in the solar system.

In these situations, we need robust and adaptive solutions like hybrid systems with over and under-voltage controllers. These systems help us to manage grid conditions smartly and give more stable and reliable performance, which will be very essential for the successful integration and sustainability of solar initiatives in Pakistan.

Why do We think the Hybrid System is better for most Pakistanis?

In a country like Pakistan, where many areas are facing 12 to 14 hours of load shedding daily, we are confident that hybrid systems are the best solution. On-grid systems, which are generally installed to reduce electricity bills, lose their value during prolonged load shedding because of no light even if the sun is shining at its peak. These systems become useless when residents need them the most.

Hybrid solar systems switch from solar to battery and battery to solar off-grid connectivity enabling continuous power supply during an outage. The compatibility with the tough Pakistani grid makes hybrid systems a more feasible and reliable option for most of the consumer’s energy requirements.

In Pakistan, the price of solar panels dropped abruptly from 70,000 to 30,000 creating a lot of noise, Let unfold this complex story. This abrupt price drop is due to global competition between China and the West in solar panel manufacturing. Europe’s effort to manufacture panels locally got hit as China captured the market with low-cost products.

Pakistan took advantage of this situation and got the solar plates at a cheaper price. However, there is also a concern about the quality of these panels because the technology is changing. Breakage has increased as frames are getting thinner and materials are changing, so industry side is now more emphasized on maintaining standards rather than further price deduction.

Key Takeaways:

• The prices of solar panels in Pakistan have dropped significantly which is making it more accessible.
• However, there are doubts about the quality and standards of the cheaper panels.
• The decrease in prices is a consequence of the global competition between China and the West in solar panel manufacturing.

The Global Solar Panel Battle

China vs. The West

In the ongoing solar panel manufacturing war, China and the West are at daggers drawn. To reduce China’s dominance, America and Europe have made a plan to manufacture solar panels locally on a gigawatt scale. The plan was to sell these locally manufactured panels in the US and Europe, but it took an interesting turn.

The Conundrum in Europe

As the West started producing locally, they faced tough competition from China as they have already flooded the market with cheap solar panels. European business people were ready to make money from the solar revolution but China’s panel pricing was so competitive that it didn’t make sense for them to produce locally and eventually, Europe was left with more solar panel inventories.

The Pakistani Advantage

Unexpected Windfall

The extra stock of European solar panels and China’s desperate selling strategy proved to be in favor of Pakistan. The increased demand due to this opportunity automatically brought the prices down and solar panels became cheaper for the people of Pakistan.

The Dark Side of Cheap Solar Panels

Quality Concerns

The trend to slimmer frames and different materials has indirectly hit the solar panel’s durability. The number of breakage and cracking complaints has increased, approximately 10% of panels are having such issues. This has resulted in a huge overload of warranty claims and disputes which is making the situation more complex.

Industry Voices

While the price cut continues in the solar panel market, some voices in the industry are suggesting focusing on maintaining standards rather than going for more price reductions. It is important to balance affordability with quality to get long-term benefits and customer satisfaction.
