On-Grid Solar System

Solar Panels:

These capture sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity.

Inverter:

Converts the DC electricity produced by the solar panels into alternating current (AC) electricity, which can be used in homes or businesses.

Grid Connection:

The system is connected to the public utility grid. If your solar system produces more power than you need, the excess is sent to the grid. If the system produces less power than needed, electricity is drawn from the grid.

Metering System:

This tracks the amount of electricity consumed and fed back to the grid. In some cases, you may receive credit for the excess power you send to the grid through net metering.

How It Works:

During the day, the solar panels generate electricity. If the demand for electricity in your home or business is greater than the solar generation, the system will draw power from the grid. If the solar system generates more power than you need, the excess power is sent to the grid, often earning you credits. At night or during cloudy days, when solar power generation is low or absent, you will draw power from the grid to meet your electricity needs.

Advantages of On-Grid Solar Systems

Cost Savings:

Reduces your electricity bill since the system offsets power consumption.

Net Metering:

You can earn credits for surplus electricity sent to the grid, further reducing energy costs.

Low Maintenance:

On-grid systems require minimal maintenance since there’s no need to store energy.

Environmentally Friendly:

Solar power is a clean, renewable energy source, helping reduce your carbon footprint.
