In an on-grid solar system, solar panels will continue to produce power during the day. This power can either be used instantly or exported to the grid with no backup for power outages. If at any time the system runs out of power, it draws the same from the electricity grid. Hence, a user will never run out of power in this case. Similarly, any excess that is produced by the system is fed to the grid. The advantage of an on-grid system is that the user will get a credit in his electricity bill for the extra power he sent to the grid. So, his electricity bills will also reduce. Always assess your Home’s Energy Consumption, Solar Potential, Solar Electricity Needs, etc. before installing an on-grid solar system.

On-grid is the most common type of system used, Also known as grid-connected solar or grid-tied solar. The On-grid system is connected to the grid and no batteries are attached to the system. This type of systems allows the owners to get power from either the solar system or the utility grid. A major advantage of an On-grid system is that system exports any excess power generated back into the utility grid for which the owner gets paid credits. Whereas on the other side the solar panel system is unable to work efficiently during cloudy days or at nigh.
