What is On-Grid Solar System?
An on-grid solar system is a solar system that is linked with the power grid, which means that it captures sunlight and transforms it into electricity that can be used by the grid. It is the most popular solar system as it is easy to install, economical and reliable. It cuts down your electricity bill because when you use a certain amount of electricity you also utilize the same amount of electricity from your panels, and any amount in excess is sold back to the grid and currently paid for under the Net Billing arrangement.
Components in On-Grid Solar Systems
Structure
The structure is the base frame to hold and angle the solar panels properly to prevent damage to the panels and allow them to capture the maximum amount of sunlight.
Solar Panels
The heart of an on-grid system is the solar panels, which directly transform sunlight into electricity.
Inverter
The inverter is the most significant part, which will transform the electricity produced by the panels into electricity that is used by the lights.
Bi-Directional Meter
A bi-directional meter is an important part of an on-grid system. It logs what electricity you use from the grid as well as electricity you supply to the grid, as per the current Net Billing structure.
How On-Grid Solar System Work ?
1. Sunlight Absorbtion
Solar panels capture the sun’s energy and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity.
2. DC to AC Conversion
This is DC electricity converted into AC electricity that is useful to your home appliances by means of the inverter.
3. Grid Power Consumption
AC electricity is used to electrify the household or business premises.
4. Excess Power
The surplus electricity that is not consumed is sold to the grid and remunerated on the prevailing Net Billing buyback rate.
Benefits of On-Grid Solar System
1. Cost Savings
Like any other power installation, an on-grid system lowers the electricity expenditure of the facility on a month-to-month basis.
2. Renewable Source of Energy
Embracing solar-powered energy systems allows people to cut down on their environmental engagement, making the world a cleaner place.
3. Improved Property Value
Properties fitted with solar systems have more attractive buyers, thereby raising the value of the specific house.
4. Faster Return on Investment
With Net Billing, any surplus electricity your system produces is sold back to the grid, helping offset your installation cost faster and shortening your payback period.
