Solar Energy Solutions

Product Details:

Grid-tied, on-grid, utility-interactive, grid interactive and grid backfeeding are all terms used to describe the same concept - a solar system that is connected to the utility power grid..

Advantages of Grid-Tied Systems1. Save more money with net metering

A grid-connection will allow you to save more money with solar panels through better efficiency rates, net / gross metering, plus lower equipment and installation costs:

Batteries, and other stand-alone equipment, are required for a fully functional off-grid solar system and add to costs as well as maintenance. Grid-tied solar systems are therefore generally cheaper and simpler to install.

Your solar panels will often generate more electricity than what you are capable of consuming. With net metering, system owners can infuse this excess electricity back onto the utility grid instead of storing it themselves with batteries.

Net metering (or feed-in tariff schemes in some states) play an important role in how solar power is incentivized. With it, such solar systems become much more feasible from a financial / commercial point of view.

Most DISCOM's in every state are committed to buying electricity from such system owners at the same rate as they purchase it themselves from other sources.

2. The utility grid is a virtual battery for you.

Electricity has to be spent in real time. However, it can be temporarily stored as other forms of energy (e.g. chemical energy in batteries). Energy storage typically comes with significant losses.

The electric power grid is in many ways also a battery, without the need for maintenance or replacements, and with much better efficiency rates. In other words, more electricity (and more money) goes to waste with conventional battery systems.

Hence the On Grid type Solar Power Plants become the best available option for a usable Independent Power Plants (IPP) to install for any Industrial / Commercial /  Residential application
