What are on grid solar system?
A grid connected/interactive system is connected to a large independent grid (typically the public electricity grid) and feeds power into the system and grid without battery back-up.
Major Components
- Solar PV Module
- Grid Interactive Inverters
- Mounting Structures
- Array Junction Boxes/DC Combiner Boxes
- Required protection devices like Earthing kit, lighting protection etc.
- AC Distribution Box
Working of on Grid Solar System
General working principle behind On Grid solar solution is that it is connected to photovoltaic power systems that consist of Maximum Power point tracking, Photovoltaic panels, solar inverters, power conditioning units and grid connection equipment. Dissimilar to Stand-alone photovoltaic power systems these systems not often have batteries. Grid-connected photovoltaic power systems can feed excess power to the grid, which in this case acts as a battery for the system. The assessment is done through a meter to monitor.
