What is Ongrid Solar?
Grid Connected Solar or Ongrid Solar is the Solar Power which is connected directly to the Grid, usually without Batteries. Ongrid Solar is live solar power connected to our loads and the utility grid without any backups. Whatever solar power generated during the daytime is live fed to the loads for immediate consumption, and if there is excess generation more than the live consumption, it will get exported to the external grid. Similarly, if your consumption is higher than the live solar generation, then the excess energy needed for consumption is imported from the external grid. All this happens in a smooth synchronized manner and no user intervention is needed for any of this.

What loads/equipment can be connected to an ongrid solar power plant?
Since the solar power plant is connected to infinite loads, the loads of the house to which ongrid solar is connected is immaterial. If your consumption is higher than the live solar generation, then the excess energy needed for consumption is imported from the external grid. All this happens in a smooth synchronized manner and no user intervention in needed for any of this. Hence, high load equipment such as Air Conditioners, Electrical Motors, Pumps, Refrigerators, Electric Cars, Electric Scooters, Induction Cookers etc can be connected to ongrid solar without any issues.

How a Home Solar System Operates?
Solar PV systems, to put it simply, are modern power generation facilities equipped with solar panels that take in sunlight, convert it to energy, and then use other parts to provide you with a useful supply to power your appliances.
How a Home Solar System Operates
The photoelectric effect is the underlying concept that drives solar systems. The main generators of electricity in a home solar setup are solar panels. A number of solar PV cells that effectively catch sunlight make up each solar panel. Semiconducting materials are used to construct each PV cell. The photoelectric effect occurs when light strikes this substance, moving electrons that then create an electric current to pass through the material. This electric current is captured by the wire connecting solar cells on your roof's solar arrays, which produces DC electricity.
Since your usual household electronics and appliances can't run on DC current, the energy is first transformed into AC current by a solar inverter before being used in the home or fed into the grid.

Installing a Home Solar System
You must follow a few essential guidelines while making the move to renewable energy sources if you want to get the most out of solar power systems for your home's electricity.
Examine the energy efficiency of your house.
You can find out how your home consumes electricity and whether you're wasting any precious resources by having a comprehensive energy audit performed on it by a reputable electrician. Additionally, check to see if any of the lighting and appliance systems you use are outdated, inefficient models, and think about replacing them.
Discover the solar potential of your house.
Even while direct and dispersed sunlight can both be captured by modern solar equipment to produce energy, certain homes might not have enough solar potential to justify the cost. Verify whether your roof receives adequate sunlight throughout the day and look for adjacent trees and plants that could shade your solar panels.
Older homes may have compromised roofs that require replacement right away or in a few years. Additionally, if your neighbourhood homeowners organisation oversees your property, be sure to ask them if installing a private solar system for your house will be appropriate.

India's Home Solar Subsidy
Thanks to the encouragement and support Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE) has been giving to the renewable energy field in India in the last 2 decades under the leadership of various central governments, renewable energy and especially Solar Energy has become affordable and popular across the country. In the last 7 years, under the leadership of the Central Government and State Governments to the renewable energy sector in India, it is contributing steadily to the ambitious, but achievable target of 175 GW of Renewable energy in the country by 2022 and 500 GW of Renewable Energy by 2030. The financial subsidy given to customers provided through the Central Financial Assistance (CFA) of MNRE has especially contributed to the development and widespread adoption of rooftop solar across the nook and corner of the country, including villages and remote rural areas. All such consistent, continuous and incremental initiatives by MNRE is noteworthy and appreciable. The lengthy list of benefits of their renewable energy alternative is substantially expanded by solar subsidies.
The solar system for home pricing in India after subsidies are something to take into consideration if you've been on the fence regarding solar because of the prohibitive initial investment.
Let's say your solar vendor advises you to choose a grid-connected solar plant with a maximum capacity of 3 kWp for your energy requirements. The benchmark cost of the solar plant for your home will then be eligible for a 40% subsidy (also known as Central Financial Assistance). Up to 10 kWp and above units receive a 20% subsidy. According to each state's solar policy, the benchmark price and subsidy rate differ from one another. Therefore, it's crucial to get in touch with a reputable solar firm that can make sure you benefit from government-provided financial help and lower the overall cost of solar power for your home.

What does net metering mean for a household solar system connected to the grid?
A net-metered solar plant for the home enables you to draw power from the grid when solar power generation is insufficient on any given day because solar panels only produce energy during the hours of sunlight. On days when there is an excess of solar production, unused units are instead sold to the grid for solar credits. When delivering you the total monthly bill, the net metre keeps track of the flow of energy in both directions.
Netmetering is the best form of metering for solar users. To know more, Click here to call us now! Or Click here if you want to contact us to know more
What if my roof doesn’t get enough sun?
Some homes may not benefit from solar systems if their roofs don't receive enough sunlight because of significant obstacles like the neighbor's property casting shade or the roof's unfavourable orientation. A solar installer can more accurately assess the solar potential of your roof or may advise you to join a community solar farm, which provides the benefits of solar without requiring you to put panels on your roof.

Polycrystalline Panels Vs Monocrystalline Panels
Polycrystalline are the most proven and time-tested technology in Solar Modules having more than 60 years of field-tested and proven trackrecord. Monocrystalline modules are relatively new technology, and they have higher area-efficiency in terms of output from a unit area of light falling on it, and conversion to electric energy. However, a 3 kWp power plant, whether using monocrystalline modules or polycrystalline modules will generate the same output under STC (Standard Test Conditions) conditions, just that the Monocrystalline modules will help you save some area (maybe a few square meters). Remember, a 3 kWp Solar Panel, whether Monocrystalline or Poly Crystalline have been tested for 3 kWp in the factory before shipping; and will generate the same power output and you are only paying for the Wp output of the solar panels, not for the technology!
Thus, in all practical conditions, the only difference between Monocrystalline solar panels and polycrystalline solar panels are that monocrystalline modules can save some area (maybe a few square meters) needed to generate the same output; There is no change in output. Monocrystalline modules are more expensive compared to Polycrytalline modules. Thus, if you have a lot of area to work with or if roof area is not a major constraint, you might find it more cost-effective to install more polycrystalline panels on your property to suit your energy needs because their price point is lower while generating the same power output.
Depending on where you live and how much area you have, polycrystalline panels can be a better value for money and investment for you, and technology is also advancing quickly in this area.
