ON-GRID SOLAR SYSTEM
How It Works
1. Introduction to Our On-Grid Solar Solution
At Electron Bee, we specialize in on-grid solar systems (also known as grid-tied systems) that supply surplus electricity directly to the grid. This approach allows homeowners and businesses to instantly reduce their monthly electricity bills, benefit from net metering, and eliminate expensive battery requirements.
-
Zero Battery Needed: Your local grid effectively acts as the energy storage solution.
-
Government Subsidy: Residential customers can enjoy state and central subsidies, lowering the system’s net cost.
-
Long-Term ROI: After a short break-even period, the generated electricity becomes free power for the remaining 20+ years of a system’s life.
2. What Is an On-Grid Solar System?
An on-grid solar system uses solar panels to generate electricity. This electricity is then converted from direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC) through a solar inverter. The AC power is fed into your property’s wiring through a bi-directional meter, which measures both:
-
Units exported to the grid (excess electricity you don’t use during daytime).
-
Units imported from the grid (usually at night or on cloudy days).
This two-way exchange of electricity is known as net metering. You’re billed only for the net units consumed.
3. Key Components of Our On-Grid Solar System
Solar Panels
-
Installed on your rooftop, typically South-facing for maximum sunlight capture.
-
Convert sunlight into DC power, which must be inverted to AC.
Mounting Structures
-
Prefabricated and hot-dip galvanized to resist rust.
-
Engineered to withstand high wind speeds (e.g., up to 180 km/h).
-
Secure your panels in place for the entire 25-year lifespan.
Solar Accessories (Cables, Junction Boxes)
-
DC Combiner Box: Safely handles high DC voltages from panels before feeding the inverter.
-
AC Combiner Box: Combines AC output from the inverter(s) and channels it to your building’s mains.
-
MC4 Connectors: Secure and weatherproof cable connections between panels.
Solar Inverter
-
The heart of any on-grid system.
-
Converts DC electricity from the panels into usable AC power for all your appliances.
Bi-Directional Meter (Net Meter)
-
Tracks how much electricity flows into the grid vs. how much is imported from it.
-
Essential for monthly bill calculation and ensuring you receive credit for the surplus you generate.
Save over 20% on your monthly electricity bill with 0 Risk and 0 investment.
5. Benefits of On-Grid Systems
-
Lower Monthly Bills: Slash your electric bills by 50-90% through net metering.
-
No Batteries Required: Leverage the grid instead of costly battery backups.
-
Subsidy Availability: Government incentives significantly reduce installation costs.
-
Easier Maintenance: Fewer components compared to hybrid or off-grid systems.
-
Affordable & Scalable: Largest market adoption in India—easy to expand capacity later.
