A solar on-grid system, also known as a grid-tied or grid-connected solar system, is a type of photovoltaic (PV) system that is connected to the electrical grid. It allows you to generate electricity from solar panels and feed any excess power back into the grid. Idea Technosolutions Pvt.ltd. is the provider of solar on-grid with net metering with subsidy systems in Bhubaneswar.
Components of a solar on-grid system typically include:
Solar Panels: These are the main components that convert sunlight into electricity. They are typically mounted on the roof or ground to capture maximum sunlight.
Inverter: The solar inverter is responsible for converting the direct current (DC) electricity produced by the solar panels into alternating current (AC) electricity, which is used by most household appliances and can be fed into the grid.
Net Meter: A net meter is installed by the utility company to measure the electricity flowing in both directions – from the grid to your home and from your solar system back to the grid. It keeps track of the excess electricity you generate and export to the grid.
Electrical Panel: The electrical panel is used to distribute solar-generated electricity to power your home’s appliances. It allows you to use solar energy directly instead of drawing power from the grid.
Grid Connection: The solar on-grid system is connected to the existing electrical grid through a connection point. This connection enables the system to draw power from the grid when solar production is low and feed excess power back into the grid when production is high.
Advantages of a solar on-grid system:
Reduced electricity bills: By generating your electricity, you can reduce your dependence on the grid and lower your monthly electricity bills.
Financial incentives: In many countries, there are financial incentives, such as feed-in tariffs or net metering programs, which allow you to earn credits or receive payments for the excess electricity you generate and feed back into the grid.
Environmental benefits: Solar energy is a clean and renewable source of energy, so using a solar on-grid system helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and your carbon footprint.
Grid backup: In the event of a power outage, most grid-tied systems do not provide power unless they are equipped with energy storage systems. However, you can still rely on the grid for power during such times.
It’s important to note that a solar on-grid system requires a stable and reliable electrical grid to function. If there is a power outage, the system will automatically shut down for safety reasons to prevent back-feeding electricity into the grid and endangering utility workers.
