On-Grid Solar in Assam
On-grid solar connects to APDCL and is best when your main goal is reducing electricity bills. It works with net metering and is the usual path for residential subsidy, but it shuts down during grid outages for safety.
Off-Grid Solar in Assam
Off-grid solar uses batteries and can run independently during power cuts. It is useful for locations with unreliable grid supply, but it costs more and generally does not follow the same subsidy route as standard residential on-grid systems.
