WORKING OF GRID CONNECTED SOLAR POWER PLANT

Whenever the sun shines (and even in overcast weather), the solar cells generate electricity. The grid connect inverter converts the DC electricity produced by the solar panels into AC electricity, which can then be used by the building loads.

•The sun shines on the solar panels generating DC electricity.

•The DC electricity is fed into a solar inverter that converts it to AC electricity.

•The AC electricity is used to power appliances in your building.

•Surplus electricity is fed back into the main grid.

How to Choose a Solar System Capacity

 

How much electricity do you consume per month from your gird supply? This is the main criteria to select solar system capacity. The purpose of installing on-grid solar system is to reduce electricity bill. The table to understand how to choose on-grid solar system capacity based upon power consumption and monthly electricity meter reading.

​

What happens, when power consumption is very low?

 

The advantage of on-grid solar system is awesome, if you are not using electricity at your home, the power generated from solar system will be fed back to the grid. The state government will give you money for sending electricity to gird.

​

Off Grid Solar System –

• An off-grid solar system is a solar panel system that generates electricity, stores that power in solar batteries, and runs independently from the power grid.

• The cost of an off-grid solar system has an even wider range because there are a variety of sizes, applications, and components that impact the price.

• An alternative to off-grid solar systems is a hybrid system, which remains tied to the grid but includes a solar battery bank to store excess energy.

• Hybrid solar systems produce usable electricity with the help of hybrid solar inverters and batteries. The power stored in the batteries can be used later on. 

• The hybrid solar system is connected to the grid via net metering and also has a battery backup to store the power. The energy that solar panels collect goes through a hybrid solar inverter to generate electricity. ​

   

The most important benefit of a hybrid solar system is the power backup facility. It means you can continue using electricity without disruptions even during power outages. A battery backup helps store the extra power generated by the solar system during peak hours.
