WHAT IS ON GRID SOLAR ROOT TOP SYSTEM?

The Solar systems can be classified into 3 different categories based on their grid-connectivity. They are on-grid solar, off-grid solar and hybrid systems which are a combination of both. On grid solar power system is a solar power generation system where it is connected to the utility grid. The electricity produced by the system is routed to the grid from where it is used to run the various appliances. The excess power at any point of time is transmitted back to the grid.

An on-grid solar system is much more attractive than an off-grid system. In an on-grid solar system, the solar power is produced only when the grid is available. The power supply gets completely cut-off in case of the grid outage. Hence, one needs to depend on back-ups such as DG sets for emergency power supply. The power shut down happens, mostly in case of safety and technical reasons.

How does on grid solar power system works?

This system works in two-ways — the supply of electricity can flow from the grid to which it is connected to the user’s home and from the user’s home to the grid. This feature makes the on-grid solar system affordable and highly useful. The solar panels, installed on the user’s home are ‘tied’ to the grid. The solar panels convert sunlight into electric energy, which is Direct Current (DC). This current is then sent to an inverter. The solar inverter then converts the DC to Alternating Current (AC), thus making it power the electrical items.

This electricity is then routed to the grid where it is supplied for day to day use. The grid tied inverter additionally regulates the amount and voltage of electricity fed to the household since all the power generated is mostly much more than a home needs or can handle. An important feature is the net meter. It is a device that records the energy supplied to the grid and the energy consumed. At the end of each month, the outstanding is recorded and the consumer is provided with a bill.This ‘converted’power supply is then used by homes through the main electricity distribution panel.

Zero Electricity Bills

Zero Electricity Bills – Though the solar power system is connected to the grid, the consumer has to pay only for the surplus electricity he consumes. The bill generated on a monthly basis determines whether the consumer has any payments to be made. However, at the same time if the consumer utilizes less electricity, the excess is fed back in the grid.

Easy Maintenance

Easy maintenance — The on grid solar power system has the least number of parts along with simple installation. The elimination of batteries makes the maintenance quite easy.

Passive income generation

Passive income generation- With connection to the grid, the consumer can charge for the surplus electricity he has generated. It not only eliminates your electricity bills but also avail the cost benefits for the excess electricity generated.

On-grid solar systems

On-grid solar systems are most costeffective and convenient to install. These are ideal systems for households as the cost charged can be recovered easily through the additional power transmitted to the grid.

Advantages of Solar System For-Commercail and Institutaions

Solar isn’t just for big companies anymore. Businesses of all sizes can capitalize on the many benefits of adding solar power. Solar energy has become a strategic decision that has proven to have numerous benefits for your business.

01

Solar power gives you a great return on investment

When thinking about switching your commercial building to solar power, consider it an investment, not an expense. The return on investment you get from solar power often exceeds that of most other investments in terms of the money your business saves over the years.

02

Reduces your operating costs

Once your commercial solar panels are paid off, they will reduce the operating expenses of your business, which will cascade through your business’ balance sheet. Businesses will find that their cost to install their solar project will more than pay for itself over the lifespan of the solar system.

03

Control future energy bills

Predicting operating costs can be difficult since you often don’t know what the future will bring. But predicting your electric bill becomes pretty easy once you add solar panels. Instead of facing unpredictable and wildly fluctuating energy bills, you’ll know what to expect each month with a commercial solar panel system that dramatically reduces your energy costs.
Your budgeting just got easier because you won’t have to worry about rising energy prices.

04

Increase your property value

Homes and commercial buildings that have solar panels can have higher property values and sell faster than those that don’t, per multiple studies. And that is not likely to change. With the solar revolution gaining steam, adding commercial solar panels figures to make your building more desirable. If you have lower electric bills, that’s a boon for any business owner

05

Tax credits and bonus depreciation

When you install commercial solar panels, you benefit from the (ITC), and aslo bonus depreciation available, businesses can take an immediate first-year deduction on their solar installations.

06

Solar panels are more affordable than ever

Solar panel installation costs have fallen more than 70 percent over the last decade. This means the price of adding solar panels also has fallen.

07

Improves your cash flow

Once you have your commercial solar panels installed and hooked up to the energy grid, you start to save with lower energy bills each month. When less money goes to the power company, you’ll have more cash on hand once your panels are paid off.

08

Improves your brand with a greener image

One of the great things about commercial solar panels is how you can market your commitment to clean energy to your customers. This sends a positive message about your dedication to sustainability and the environment. Every time your employees, customers, shareholders, neighbors and others know that you’re going green or see the panels for themselves, you’ll be making a great impression. Going solar not only helps protect the environment, but it also can affect how everyone in your community views your company.

09

High reliability and low maintenance

Commercial solar panels are virtually maintenance-free and noiseless. In most cases, the structure of commercial
buildings makes them easily accessible. The solar cells are encased in tempered, protective glass, framed by noncorrosive aluminum. They are built to be exposed to the
elements and can withstand rain, hail, wind, and snow – just about any weather-related threat you can think of.

 In general, the photovoltaic cells that make up the solar panels very rarely break down. Even if they do, solar panels come with a 25-year Performance warranty, which means that once you add solar panels to your commercial building, you will generate your own clean electricity for at least 25 years or more, from a system that is just as functional and probably more reliable than the utility company.
