What is On-Grid Solar for Households?

A household on-grid solar system is a solar power solution connected to the electricity grid. It allows homeowners to generate their own electricity, reduce electricity bills, and send excess power back to the grid through net metering.

Unlike off-grid systems, on-grid solar does not require battery storage, making it a cost-effective and low-maintenance option for residential users.

How Does an On-Grid Household Solar System Work?

1️⃣ Solar Panels Capture Sunlight

• High-efficiency monocrystalline or polycrystalline solar panels generate DC (Direct Current) electricity.

2️⃣ String Inverter Converts DC to AC

• Since home appliances run on AC (Alternating Current) electricity, an inverter converts DC to AC for household use.

3️⃣ Power Your Home

• The system provides electricity for lights, fans, air conditioners, refrigerators, and other appliances.

4️⃣ Net Metering & Grid Connection

• If solar production exceeds household consumption, excess power is sent to the grid, and the user gets credited.
• When solar production is low (night or cloudy days), the home draws power from the electricity grid as usual.

5️⃣ Monthly Savings & Bill Reduction

• At the end of the billing cycle, the electricity provider calculates net usage (electricity consumed minus electricity exported).
• Homeowners pay only for net usage or even earn credits if solar export is higher than consumption.

Benefits of On-Grid Solar for Homes

✅ Significant Cost Savings

• Reduces electricity bills by up to 90%.
• Net metering ensures monetary credits for excess energy exported to the grid.

✅ No Battery Storage Required

• On-grid systems eliminate the high cost of battery maintenance and replacement.

✅ Government Subsidies (MNRE Benefits)

• Homeowners can avail MNRE subsidy (up to 40%), making solar installation more affordable.

✅ Low Maintenance & Long Lifespan

• Solar panels have a lifespan of 25+ years with minimal maintenance.
• Remote monitoring systems allow real-time tracking of power generation and system health.

✅ Eco-Friendly & Sustainable

• Reduces carbon footprint and reliance on fossil fuels.
• Contributes to India’s renewable energy goals and a cleaner environment.

System Sizing Guide for Homes

🔹 Example: A 5 kW system can generate around 600-750 units per month, sufficient for an average Indian household.
