On Grid/Grid Tie solar power project are connected to the public electricity grid(KSEB) and do not require battery storage. Any solar power that we generate from an on-grid system during daytime (which is not used directly in your home) is exported onto the electricity grid(KSEB) and we can utilize the exported power during night.
Grid-tie solar systems are not able to function or generate electricity during a blackoutor power failure due to safety reasons; since blackouts usually occur when the electricity grid is damaged. If the solar inverter were still feeding electricity into a damaged grid it would risk the safety of the people repairing the fault/s in the network.
The major components of a grid-connect PV system include:
*PV array
*Inverter
*Net Meters
Advantages
1. Reduces Electricity Bill
2. Can Credit the electricity to KSEB when not in use
3. High Return of Investment (ROI)
4. Zero Reinvestment
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 is that your utility system acts as your battery space.
