Net metering on on-grid solar system
The entire concept of an on-grid solar system works on the principle of net metering.
Net metering can be best understood as a means for the discom to keep a track of the power that was generated by the solar plant, the power that was consumed, the power that was supplied to the grid, and the power that was imported.
At the end of every month when the electricity bill is generated, the readings from the bidirectional meter give an account of:
If you supplied more than you consumed, those units will be deducted from your bill. It will reduce the bill further.
If you had to use extra units from the grid on top of what your solar plant generated, those units would be added to your bill.
Top 8 benefits of using an on-grid solar system
A solar system is of 3 types: on-grid, off-grid, and hybrid
Although there are three types, it’s the on-grid solar system that’s used and trusted by most homeowners in India.
Naturally, there ought to be some extraordinary benefits of an on-grid solar system for home.
Those are the benefits we’re focusing on:
Power outages on on-grid solar systems
Every system has benefits as well as certain limitations - an on-grid solar system is no different.
Although its connection with the grid is a sure benefit, it's also a limitation. When there's a power cut from the grid, the on-grid solar system automatically shuts down.
This interruption in the supply of power is known as a power outage. Nevertheless, on-grid solar systems in urban areas with a reliable grid are unbeatable when it comes to meeting all the power requirements of a home.
The main reason that an on-grid solar inverter is designed in a way that it automatically shuts down if the grid fails is to eliminate safety risks. This particular feature that differentiates on-grid inverters from all other types is called Anti-Islanding Protection.
During power outages, an on-grid inverter will stop generating AC power immediately. Otherwise, the electrical maintenance personnel working directly with the wiring at the location of the electrical fault may suffer from electric shocks.
On-grid Solar system types based on their capacities
In terms of subsidy, the government offers a subsidy for an on-grid solar system that does not exceed the capacity of 18 KW.
Let’s find out the basics since the calculations will also help you in finding out the size of the solar system that you should install at your home.
