Types of a 5 kW Solar System
There are three types of a 5 kW solar system in Pakistan which are mentioned below;
On-Grid 5 kW Solar System
The on-grid / grid-tied solar system connects and joints with the electric meter and works as virtual batteries to restore the extra energy produced by the solar system. It might provide more advantages if this solar system is connected to net metering facility.
Off-Grid 5 kW Solar System
The off-grid solar system is based on the batteries to be used in case of habitual load shedding or in cloudy weather where sunlight remains invisible for solar plates in Pakistan. Off-grid solar systems do not offer a net-metering facility.
Hybrid 5 kW Solar System
This solar system is a mixture of both on-grid and off-grid. Where it is connected to the electric meter or grid, there it is also connected with the batteries. That’s why hybrid solar system can be little expensive as compared to the other two types but it might be the best solution if you want to take both advantage of net-metering and battery backups.
A hybrid 5 kW solar system price in Pakistan is expensive than other two models of 5 kW solar systems because hybrid solar system shows dual functionality including solar battery for power backup and net metering facility.
Financial Benefit in a 5 kW Solar System
This solar system produces more than 500 kWh electricity in a month. The highest financial returns can be determined in opting the net metering facility where you will use the free electricity and also earn handsome amount by selling extra produced energy to the grid. You will forget all the concerns related to your investment when you will start earning by net metering. As per an expert opinion, payback period of a 5 kW solar system is around 7 to 10 years.
