On-Grid Solar Solutions
A ON Grid system or grid-connected PV system is an electricity generating solar PV power system that is connected to the utility grid. A grid-connected PV system consists of solar panels, one or several inverters, a power conditioning unit and grid connection equipment. They range from small residential and commercial rooftop systems to large utility-scale solar power stations., the grid-connected PV system supplies the excess power, beyond consumption by the connected load, to the utility grid
How Does Working:
Solar power is the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity, Photovoltaic cells convert light into an electric current using the photovoltaic effect. The current generated here is Direct Current (DC). The solar inverter then converts the DC to Alternating Current (AC), thus making it power the electrical items. This electricity is then routed to the grid where it is supplied for Everyday use. An important feature is the net meter. It is a device that records the energy supplied to the grid and the energy consumed. At the end of bill Timing, the outstanding is recorded and the consumer is provided with a bill.
Solar ON grid Vs OFF grid
On Grid | Off Grid |
---|---|
Reduces your electricity bills | Brings electricity to remove area |
Generate a passive income | provides electricity during power cuts |
Guaranteed long span | Uses batteries to store power(These are expensive and need to be replace every 1-5 years) |
Requirements
On Grid | Off Grid |
---|---|
Existing grid infrastructure | Detailed planning process |
Grid company permit | larger upfront investment |
Government supported one off | continued investment to existed lifespan Investment |
