On-grid — best value
For most Bangalore homes with reliable supply, on-grid gives the fastest payback and qualifies for subsidy.
Hybrid — savings plus backup
If you face frequent outages or need backup for critical loads (medical equipment, work-from-home, pumps), hybrid is worth the extra cost.
Off-grid — independence
For farmhouses and sites without reliable grid power, off-grid systems provide full independence.
