Understanding On-Grid Solar Systems
An on-grid solar system, also called a grid-tied system, is connected to the state electricity grid. It is best suited for urban households with reliable electricity access. These systems produce solar energy during the day and use grid electricity at night or when solar generation is insufficient.
How It Works:
Solar panels absorb sunlight and generate DC (direct current) electricity.
A solar inverter converts DC into AC (alternating current) used in your home.
The AC is routed through a bi-directional net meter.
Excess electricity is exported to the grid, while grid power is imported when needed.
Net metering records both exported and imported energy, and your bill is calculated on the net difference.
This system ensures minimal reliance on batteries, reduces electricity bills drastically, and enables quicker returns on investment.
Key Components of an On-Grid System
Solar Panels: These generate DC electricity from sunlight. Best installed on south-facing rooftops.
Solar Inverter: Converts DC to AC. This is the brain of the system, enabling household usage.
Mounting Structures: Made from corrosion-resistant galvanized steel, they provide a stable foundation for solar panels.
Electrical Accessories: Includes AC/DC cables, connectors, protection devices, and combiner boxes for system safety and efficiency.
Bi-directional Meter: Tracks both the energy consumed from and exported to the grid, used for net metering billing.
