ON Grid Systems

Electricity flows from the grid-connected to the user’s house and from the user’s house back to the grid. This is the special feature that makes this system a very flexible and useful one among the ones that exist. 

Grid Connection: The system is connected to the utility power grid. This allows for the transfer of excess generated power back to the grid and the ability to draw power from the grid when needed.

No Battery Storage: Typically, on-grid solar systems do not have battery storage. Energy produced by the solar panels is either used immediately or fed back into the grid.

Helpful Faq's

  • Cost Savings: You can save on electricity bills by generating your own power and potentially earning credits for excess electricity.
  • Grid Support: The grid acts as a backup when solar production is insufficient, ensuring a continuous power supply.
  • Environmental Benefits: Reduces reliance on non-renewable energy sources, contributing to environmental conservation.

Net metering is a billing arrangement where you are credited for excess electricity your on-grid solar system feeds back into the grid. During times of low solar production, you can use these credits to offset the electricity you draw from the grid. 

While an on-grid system is designed to be connected to the grid, it’s possible to incorporate a battery storage system to provide limited off-grid capability. However, a pure off-grid system would typically have more significant battery capacity and different design considerations. 

No, on-grid systems typically do not require batteries. The grid itself serves as a storage system, allowing you to draw electricity when solar production is low and feed excess power back when it’s high. However, you may choose to install batteries for backup power during grid outages. 

In most on-grid systems, when there’s a power outage, the solar panels are automatically shut down to prevent sending electricity back into the grid. This is a safety feature to protect utility workers. If you want backup power during outages, you may need a hybrid or off-grid system with battery storage.
