On Grid Solar Power Plant
The on-grid plant is also known by the name grid connected plant or grid tied plant. This is the most common type of photovoltaic system. Both the grid and the solar panels will provide the electricity if the demand is higher than the power produced by the solar panels. The grid will compensate for the shortfall. If the demand remains low, then the excess power produced will be sent to grid.
Advantages of Grid Tied Solar PV Plant
1. Cost effective
2. Efficient
3. Does not require expensive batteries or storage devices to store the excess power produced by the panels.
4. The grid behaves as virtual battery, as the excess power produced is sent directly to the grid.
5. With net metering, a lot of money can be saved as the excess power is sold out to the utility.
6. As there is no involvement of storage devices, the maintenance required is also low.
