On-grid solar power system is a solar power generation system where it is connected to the utility grid. The electricity produced by the system is routed to the grid from where it is used to run the various appliances. The installation of the same is also fuss-free and easy to maintain. The arrangement of solar modules absorbs the sunlight on them and converts them into electricity. The current generated here is Direct Current (DC). The solar inverter then converts the DC to Alternating Current (AC), thus making it power the electrical items. This electricity is then routed to the grid where it is supplied for day to day use.
An important feature is a net meter. It is a device that records the energy supplied to the grid and the energy consumed. At the end of each month, the outstanding is recorded and the consumer is provided with a bill
With net-meter in place, the consumer has to pay only for the surplus electricity he consumes, ensuring the bill generated every month is reduced drastically. Many of our customers have been able to reduce their monthly bills by 90%.
The elimination of batteries in the on-grid system makes the maintenance quite easy. It also eliminates the cost of upkeep of the batteries.
These systems can also synchronize with a diesel generator on site. This is important in case grid power is not available
Cost of an On-grid solar system is lower than other types of solar systems because there are no batteries. It also generates the highest amount of power compared to other types of solar systems. The minimal maintenance and reduction in monthly power bills ensure the customer gets an ROI of 25 – 30%. This means the customer earns Rs.25,000 for every 1,00,000 they invest in solar.
