Solar PV Solution

On-Grid / Grid-Tied Solar System

Uses solar power to reduce grid electricity purchases, with the grid supplying any shortfall. Operates without batteries and does not provide power during grid outages.

Operating logic

How this system works

PV generation supplies site loads first. Remaining demand comes from the grid, while export depends on local utility rules and the approved metering arrangement.

Best Suited For

  • Reliable utility grid
  • High daytime consumption
  • No backup requirement

Typical Components

  • PV array
  • Grid-tied inverter
  • AC distribution
  • Meter and optional export controller

Reference architecture

System topology

Homes and businesses with a reliable utility grid and daytime electricity demand.
