On-Grid Solar System

On-Grid Solar System

With the hiked-up fuel and electricity prices, excess power outages and the increase in demand for electricity in Pakistan, people are moving towards more sustainable options for their homes, offices and businesses like solar power systems.

In these conditions, Gel Pakistan is determined to provide the best solar power solutions for everyone, whether for homes, offices or mega businesses. It provides a variety of solar energy solutions that you can choose from, such as on grid solar systems, off-grid solar systems and hybrid solar systems, that can be customized and designed by our expert team according to your energy requirements.

Solar Power System: An Overview

A solar system or a solar energy system is an electric power system that collects and converts solar energy into usable power form. A solar system contains solar panels, a solar inverter and batteries. Solar Panels consist of a bunch of solar cells that are made from silicon semiconductors, they absorb sunlight and generate energy that goes to a solar inverter which converts it from direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC) and that usable energy is either supplied directly to power the house or stored in the batteries for later usage.

Types of Solar Energy Solutions

Gel Pakistan offers the following solar energy solutions that you can choose from with free expert advice from our team.

Which one of the above-mentioned systems is suitable for you depends on your power consumption and your energy needs.

Grid-tied Solar Energy Solutions

An on grid solar system or grid-tied is connected to your local power grid. It allows the consumer to use the solar energy system along with the electricity from the grid. It means that you have access to electricity even if your solar system is not working as long as the power grid is working and vice versa. It is one of the most cost-effective solar systems and it doesn’t require any batteries. The grid-tied solar system requires solar panels, on-grid inverters, grid connection and a net metering system.

The solar cells in the solar panels draw energy from the sunlight which is then transmitted to the inverter where the dc electricity is converted to ac electricity. That usable electricity is then transmitted to the building for use.

The electricity produced by the on-grid solar system can only be used during day time when the sun is shining, at night the electricity comes from the electric grid.

Depending on the size of your solar system and your energy usage, any excess electricity from the solar system can be transmitted to the utility grid to exchange that surplus electricity with credit units. A net meter is installed for this purpose and this process is known as net metering.

People living in urban areas where the energy cost is very high can take full advantage of an on grid solar system. They can expect to avail of credit units from the grid in exchange for extra electricity through net metering services, leading to reduced electricity bills.

Central Inverters

The central inverters are mostly used for big industries and commercial areas. It has multiple string panels attached to a single large central inverter for generating an AC current from the DC current.

Micro-Inverters

They are comparatively advanced and work a bit differently than string and central inverters. A single micro-inverter is attached to a single panel and multiple such arrangements are combined to a single battery or a grid line.

Benefits of an On Grid Solar System

There are several benefits of using a grid-connected solar system:

In Pakistan, net metering is an electricity bill policy in which the people who generate solar energy more than their requirements can exchange it with the grid. The excess electricity generated from the solar systems is sent back to the main grid and the owner is compensated through their electricity bills in the form of credit.
