On-grid solar systems, also known as grid-tied or grid-connected systems, are the most common type of solar installation for homes and businesses. These systems are directly connected to the public electricity grid and do not require battery storage. The main advantage is that you can use solar power when the sun is shining and draw electricity from the grid when it is not, ensuring a continuous power supply.
During the day, solar panels generate DC electricity from sunlight. This DC power is converted into AC power by a solar inverter, which is then used to run household appliances. If your solar system produces more electricity than you need, the excess is exported to the grid (net metering), and you may receive credits on your electricity bill. At night or during cloudy weather, you can draw power from the grid as usual.
