On-Grid Solar System for Homes & Businesses

Explore grid-connected solar panel systems that generate electricity from sunlight and work alongside your existing electricity connection. Find out whether an on-grid solar solution suits your property and energy requirements.

UNDERSTANDING ON-GRID SOLAR

Generate Solar Electricity with a Grid-Connected System

An on-grid solar system, also known as a grid-tied solar system, is connected to the local electricity grid. Solar panels generate electricity during daylight hours, and a compatible inverter converts it into usable electricity for your property.

Depending on your consumption, solar generation and applicable electricity regulations, the system may reduce the amount of electricity you need to draw from the grid. Where permitted and approved, surplus electricity may be exported through the applicable metering arrangement.

HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS

From Sunlight to Usable Electricity

An on-grid solar installation combines solar panels, an inverter and a grid connection to support your property's electricity requirements.

01

Solar Panels

Panels convert sunlight into direct current electricity during daylight hours.

02

Solar Inverter

The compatible inverter converts solar electricity into alternating current for use in the property.

03

Property Consumption

Solar electricity can supply compatible household or business loads when generation is available.

04

Electricity Grid

The grid can supplement electricity needs. Surplus export depends on approvals and the applicable metering arrangement.

WHY CONSIDER ON-GRID SOLAR?

A Practical Option for Daytime Energy Needs

For properties with a suitable grid connection and regular daytime electricity consumption, an on-grid solar system may be worth considering.

Potential Electricity Bill Savings

Solar generation may reduce grid electricity consumption. Actual savings depend on usage, generation and tariffs.

Works with a Grid Connection

The system is designed to operate alongside the property's electricity supply, subject to technical requirements.

Possible Surplus Export

Eligible installations may export excess electricity under the applicable utility rules and approved metering arrangement.

Renewable Electricity Generation

Solar panels generate electricity from sunlight without direct fuel combustion during operation.

IS ON-GRID SOLAR RIGHT FOR YOU?

Check Your Property's Solar Suitability

A suitable system starts with understanding how, when and where electricity is consumed.

Homes

Homes with suitable rooftops, a grid connection and regular electricity use may be candidates for residential on-grid solar.

Shops & Offices

Properties that consume electricity during working hours may benefit from evaluating daytime solar generation.

Commercial Facilities

Buildings with appropriate roof space and suitable electrical infrastructure can assess a system based on their load profile.

Final system suitability depends on roof condition, shading, electrical infrastructure, sanctioned load, local utility requirements and applicable regulations.

IMPORTANT TO KNOW

Does On-Grid Solar Work During a Power Cut?

A standard grid-tied solar inverter generally shuts down during a grid outage for safety. Therefore, an ordinary on-grid system should not be treated as a backup power source during a power cut, even when sunlight is available.

If backup power is important to you, consider discussing a suitably designed hybrid system with compatible battery storage and backup functionality.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

On-Grid Solar FAQs

What is an on-grid solar system?

An on-grid solar system is connected to the electricity grid. Its solar panels generate electricity, which a compatible inverter converts for use within the property.

Does on-grid solar work during a power cut?

Standard grid-tied systems generally shut down when the grid fails, for safety reasons. Backup requires a suitably designed system with compatible equipment and storage.

Can an on-grid solar system reduce electricity bills?

It may reduce electricity purchased from the grid. Actual savings depend on solar generation, consumption patterns, system size, tariff structure and applicable export or net-metering rules.

Can excess solar electricity be sent to the grid?

Surplus electricity may be exported where permitted and after the applicable utility approvals and metering arrangements are in place.

How is the right on-grid system size determined?

System sizing considers electricity usage, available roof space, shading, electrical infrastructure, sanctioned load and local technical requirements.

Is a subsidy available for on-grid solar?

Eligibility depends on the applicable government scheme, consumer category, system requirements and current rules. Check the relevant official scheme portal and electricity distribution utility for current eligibility and application details.
