An on-grid solar system, also known as a grid-tied solar system, is a type of solar energy system that is connected to the electricity grid. It consists of solar panels, an inverter, and a meter, and it is designed to generate electricity from the sun to power your home or business. Any excess electricity that is produced by the solar panels is fed back into the grid, and the user is credited for this excess generation.

    One of the main advantages of an on-grid solar system is that it allows the user to take advantage of net metering, which is a system that credits excess generation back to the user at the same rate that they pay for electricity from the grid. This can result in significant financial savings over time. On-grid solar systems are also convenient because they do not require the installation of battery storage, which can be expensive and require maintenance.

However, it is important to note that an on-grid solar system is dependent on the grid for power, so if there is a power outage, the system will not be able to provide electricity. In such cases, it may be necessary to use a backup power source, such as a generator.
