An on-grid solar system, also known as a grid-tied or grid-connected solar system, is a solar power system that is directly connected to the electrical grid. This setup allows the system to work in tandem with the grid to provide electricity to a home or business. Below are the main features and components of an on-grid solar system:

Key Features:

• Connection to the National Grid:
  • The system is integrated with the National power grid, allowing for two-way energy flow.
  • Excess electricity generated is fed back into the National grid.
• Cost Efficiency:
  • Eliminates the need for expensive batteries, reducing the initial investment cost.
  • Net metering policies may enable users to earn credits or reduce their electricity bills by exporting excess power.
• Continuous Power Supply:
  • If the solar panels don’t generate enough electricity (e.g., at night or on cloudy days), power is drawn from the grid.
  • Conversely, surplus energy is sent back to the grid.
• Dependency on the Grid:
  • If the grid goes down, the solar system typically stops supplying power for safety reasons unless combined with a hybrid inverter or backup system.
