On-grid means your solar system is tied to your local utility’s GRID. This is what most residential homes will use because you are covered if your solar system under or over-produces in regard to your varying energy needs. All this means for you and is that your utility system acts as your battery space.
Benefits of on-grid solar system
1. Zero Electricity Bills – Solar power system is connected to the grid and the consumer has to pay only for the surplus electricity . . However, at the same time if the consumer utilizes less electricity, the excess is fed back in the grid.
2. Easy maintenance – In addition, on-grid power system has the least number of parts along with simple installation. And the elimination of batteries makes the maintenance quite easy.
3. Passive income generation – With a connection to the grid, the consumer can charge for the surplus electricity he has generated. It not only eliminates your electricity bills but also avails the cost benefits for the excess electricity generated.
It allows consumers to feed extra solar power into the grid and when the power is not needed and receive a credit on the electricity bill. Net metering simply uses the grid as a huge battery to balance demand supply gaps.
ADVANTAGES OF ON-GRID SOLAR SYSTEM
1. Huge reduction in electricity bills
With net-meter in place, the consumer has to pay only for the surplus electricity he consumes, ensuring the bill generated every month is reduced drastically. Many of our customers have been able to reduce their monthly bills by 90%.
2. Easy maintenance
The elimination of batteries in the on-grid system makes the maintenance quite easy. It also eliminates the cost of upkeep of the batteries
3. Synchronize with other sources of power
These systems can also synchronize with a diesel generator on site. This is important in case grid power is not available.
4. Better ROI
Cost of a On-grid solar system is lower than other types of solar systems because there are no batteries. It also generates the highest amount of power compared to other types of solar systemsed and the consumer is provided with a bill.
