Description
Description:
On-grid solar systems—also known as grid-tied solar systems—are connected directly to the utility power grid and are designed to generate electricity for immediate use while exporting excess power back to the grid. These systems are ideal for urban and suburban areas where grid access is available and users are looking to reduce their electricity bills, improve energy efficiency, and contribute to a greener environment.
These solutions are widely used for residential rooftops, small-to-medium commercial buildings, educational institutions, and urban offices, offering both economic and environmental benefits through net metering and government incentives.
Power Output Range:
Available in sizes ranging from 5 kW to 100 kW and beyond, these systems can be customized to match the energy needs of households, small businesses, or institutions.
Key Applications:
-
Residential Homes:
Offset daily power consumption, reduce utility bills, and participate in net metering. -
Small Businesses & Retail Spaces:
Lower operational costs by generating power on-site and selling excess energy to the grid. -
Educational Institutions & Clinics:
Power classrooms, labs, lighting, and medical equipment while cutting long-term energy costs. -
Urban Rooftop Installations:
Maximize underutilized rooftop space to generate clean energy in densely populated areas.
Typical Components:
-
Solar PV Panels:
High-efficiency photovoltaic modules convert sunlight into electricity. Panel capacity is sized based on roof area and energy consumption patterns. -
Grid-Tied Inverters (String or Microinverters):
Convert DC electricity from solar panels into AC electricity compatible with household and grid systems.-
String Inverters: Ideal for open rooftops with uniform sun exposure.
-
Microinverters: Suitable for shaded or irregular roof spaces, offering panel-level performance tracking.

-
Net Metering Capability:
Allows users to export unused power back to the utility grid, earning energy credits or reducing future bills. This feature greatly enhances ROI and reduces payback periods. -
Monitoring & Control Systems:
Real-time tracking of energy production, consumption, and system health via mobile apps or web platforms.
Example System Setups:
-
5 kW Residential System with Net Metering:
Ideal for medium-sized homes, powering lights, fans, refrigerators, air conditioners, and small appliances. -
30 kW Rooftop System for a Small Office or Shop:
Supports lighting, HVAC systems, computers, and printers, helping lower electricity bills significantly. -
100 kW On-Grid System for Schools or Clinics:
Generates clean power for classrooms, labs, common areas, or patient care equipment—while reducing dependency on the grid and saving costs over time.
Advantages of On-Grid Solar Systems:
-
Cost Savings Through Net Metering:
Export surplus power to the grid and receive credits, lowering electricity bills and maximizing return on investment. -
Minimal Maintenance:
With no need for battery storage, these systems are easy to operate and maintain. -
Grid Support:
Seamlessly switch between solar and grid power, ensuring consistent electricity availability. -
Environmentally Friendly:
Reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to cleaner air and a sustainable future. -
Scalable Design:
Systems can be expanded or upgraded based on future energy needs and roof space availability.
