On-Grid Solar System
An on-grid system connects to the utility grid through a net meter. Your home or business uses solar power first, and any excess energy is exported and adjusted on your electricity bill.

Quick answer
How Does an On-Grid Solar System Work?
An on-grid system powers your home with solar first and exports surplus units to the grid through a net meter.
Surplus units are credited on your electricity bill, and the grid supplies power at night and on cloudy days. It needs no battery, which makes it the lowest-cost way to cut your bill.

How It Works
How On-Grid Solar Works
The grid acts as your storage, so no battery is needed.
- 01
Panels Generate Power
Solar panels turn sunlight into DC electricity.
- 02
Inverter Converts It
The inverter turns it into AC power matched to the grid.
- 03
You Use Solar First
Your appliances run on solar power whenever the sun is out.
- 04
Extra Goes to the Grid
Surplus units are exported and recorded by the net meter.
- 05
Grid Fills the Gap
At night or during cloudy weather, you draw power from the grid as usual.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Find clear answers on net metering, generation, subsidy, and power cuts for on-grid systems.
Does an on-grid system give power during a power cut?
No. It shuts down automatically when the grid goes down. This anti-islanding protection keeps line workers safe.
What is net metering?
A bi-directional meter records the units you export and import. You pay only for the net units you use.
How many units will it generate?
In North India, our systems generate about 150 units per kW per month (it varies a little by state and season). A 3 kW system makes about 450 units and a 5 kW system at least 710 units, depending on season and shade.
Is it eligible for subsidy?
Yes, for residential homes under PM Surya Ghar, up to ₹78,000.
Can my system be larger than my sanctioned load?
Usually not. Most DISCOMs limit rooftop capacity to your sanctioned load. If you need a bigger system, we help you apply for a load increase first.
How long do the panels last?
TOPCon panels carry a 30-year performance warranty from the manufacturer and keep generating for decades with basic care.
