On-grid solar power system, also known as grid-tied solar system or grid connected PV system, is a solar power generation system that works by transforming the direct current generated by solar panels into alternating current that complies with the standards of the public electrical grid.
What is On-Grid Solar Power System?The key feature of on-grid solar photovoltaic power supply systems is the ability to convert DC power generated from photovoltaic arrays into AC power that meets the needs of the grid using a grid-connected inverter, which is then connected straight to the power source. Not only can the electricity generated by the PV array be supplied to an AC load, it can be fed to grid during daytime with little sunshine or at night, where the solar array produces inadequate or no electricity to meet load requirements.
How It Works?On-grid photovoltaic (PV) systems are a way to connect solar energy to power grids. The on-grid inverter is the most critical component in this type of system, with its task being to convert the direct current generated by the photovoltaic panels into alternating current. In addition to this, this type of inverter is capable of regulating the frequency, power, voltage, current and phase of the alternating current for compatibility with the alternating current already provided by the power grid. The inverter must also ensure that the voltage and frequency fluctuation rate of the converted alternating current is up to standard, as well as its power quality, preventing any increased amount of higher harmonics.
Benefits of On-Grid Solar SystemThe utilization of electric energy is maximized thanks to the system, as the battery isn't needed and with it the entire process of storing and releasing energy is avoided. This results in less energy wasted and a lower system cost. The benefits include:
The photovoltaic modules of the solar grid-connected system employ high-efficiency half-cut cell technology, allowing the photovoltaic array to achieve the highest possible capacity in the same installed area, resulting in more power generation that can be efficiently fed into the grid, thus reducing the customers' payback period. Equipped with an intelligent MPPT algorithm, the on-grid inverter of the on-grid solar photovoltaic system offers an impressive efficiency rate of 98.5%, and an almost perfect tracking efficiency of 99.99%. It is compatible with single-phase or three-phase power, and allows for parallel connection of multiple machines, granting excellent scalability.
