What is an On-Grid Solar System?
An on-grid (or grid-tied) solar system is connected to your local utility grid, allowing you to draw power when needed and send excess power back.
On-grid solar systems are the most common type of residential and commercial solar installations. They work in conjunction with your existing electricity provider. During the day, your solar panels generate electricity. If you produce more than you consume, the excess power is fed back into the grid, often earning you credits through a process called net metering.
When your solar panels aren’t producing enough power (e.g., at night or on very cloudy days), your property automatically draws electricity from the grid, ensuring a seamless and reliable power supply. This eliminates the need for expensive battery storage, making it a cost-effective and low-maintenance option for many.
Components of an On-Grid System
Understand the essential parts that enable your seamless connection to solar power and the grid.
Solar Panels
These photovoltaic panels capture sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity, forming the foundation of your solar generation.
Grid-Tie Inverter
This device is crucial for on-grid systems. It converts the DC electricity from your panels into alternating current (AC) that matches the grid’s frequency and voltage, allowing it to power your home and feed excess back to the utility.
Bi-Directional Meter
Unlike traditional meters, a bi-directional meter can measure electricity flowing both from the grid to your home and from your home (excess solar) back to the grid, enabling net metering.
Mounting System
Robust racking and mounting hardware securely attach the solar panels to your roof or ground, ensuring optimal tilt and orientation for maximum sun exposure.
Electrical Panel & Wiring
The existing electrical panel in your home is integrated with the solar system, and appropriate wiring connects all components safely and efficiently to distribute power throughout your property.
Benefits of On-Grid Solar
Discover the advantages of a solar system that works hand-in-hand with your utility.
Significant Electricity Bill Savings
Reduce or even eliminate your monthly electricity bills by generating your own power.
Net Metering Benefits
Sell excess electricity back to the grid and receive credits, further increasing your savings.
Lower Upfront Costs & Maintenance
No need for expensive battery banks, leading to a more affordable initial investment and less upkeep.
Increased Property Value
Homes with solar installations often sell faster and at a higher price.

If your property already has access to the public electricity grid, on-grid solar is typically the most straightforward and cost-effective option.
On-grid systems are excellent for significantly lowering or eliminating your monthly power expenses through self-consumption and net metering.
Without the need for expensive battery storage, on-grid systems generally have lower initial installation costs compared to off-grid solutions.
On-grid systems typically require less maintenance than off-grid setups, as there are no batteries to manage.
