ON-Grid solar
On-grid solar systems, also known as grid-tied or grid-connected solar systems, have several advantages. Here are a few key benefits:
What is solar power?
The sun has been burning and providing heat and light for thousands of years. The ability to harness this energy from the sun to generate heat or electricity basically is solar power.
This form of energy offers numerous benefits when compared to more traditional forms of power.
Cost-Effective
Lower initial investment: On-grid systems don’t require expensive battery storage, which reduces upfront costs.
Electric bill savings: You generate your own electricity, reducing or even eliminating your electricity bill. If you generate more power than you use, you may receive credits from your utility company via net metering.
Net Metering
With net metering, you can sell excess electricity back to the grid, earning credits for future use. This helps you maximize the value of the energy your solar panels produce.
No Battery Maintenance
Since on-grid systems don't rely on batteries for energy storage, you avoid the cost and maintenance that comes with batteries, such as replacing them every few years.
Unlimited Power Supply
Being connected to the grid means you have access to electricity even when your solar panels aren’t producing power, like during the night or on cloudy days. You don't need to worry about running out of power.
Higher Efficiency
On-grid systems tend to be more efficient because there is no energy lost in the storage process, unlike with batteries, which can result in some energy loss during charging and discharging cycles.
