What is Solar On-Grid System?

With the rapid advancement of technology in the field of solar energy, more and more people have started installing solar energy systems. Of the various systems installed around the world, on-grid solar power systems are the most selected.

What is on-grid solar?

A solar on-grid system is a solar power generation system where the utility is connected to the grid. The electricity generated by the system is sent to the grid from where it is used to power various devices. It is also trouble-free and easy to maintain.

How does an on-grid solar power system work?

The arrangement of solar modules absorbs sunlight on them and converts them into electricity. The current generated here is direct current (DC). The solar inverter then converts DC into alternating current (AC), thus providing power to electrical objects. This electricity is then sent to the grid where it is supplied for daily 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 balance is recorded and a bill is paid to the consumer.

Advantages of On-Grid Solar -

1. Zero electricity bills - Although the solar energy system is connected to the grid, the consumer only has to pay for the extra electricity he consumes. The bill, drawn up on a monthly basis, determines whether the consumer has to make any payment. However, at the same time, if the consumer consumes less power, the excess power is fed back into the grid.

2. Easy Maintenance - On-grid solar systems have simple installation as well as minimal components. Removing batteries makes maintenance much easier.

3. Passive Income Generation - With a connection to the grid, the user can charge for the extra electricity they generate. This not only eliminates your electricity bills but also gives you the cost-benefit of generating extra electricity.

Solar energy has many advantages, most notably the reduction in electricity costs and consumption. However, there are other benefits that depend on the type of system you choose.
