Technical FAQs 4

How do on-grid rooftop solar systems work?

On-grid rooftop solar systems draw energy from the electric grid when the solar panels aren’t producing enough electricity, so owners are not incentivized to make energy-efficient lifestyle changes like turning the lights off when they’re not in the room and keeping devices off when they’re not in use.

How can solar power be connected to the grid?

Connecting solar power to the grid offers a smart, sustainable way to harness renewable energy while maintaining a reliable power supply. Through the use of inverters, net metering, and modern grid technologies, solar energy is being seamlessly integrated into the existing electrical infrastructure.

How does solar power feed back into the grid?

Solar panels power your property, and excess energy charges the battery first. Once the battery is full, any remaining power is fed back into the network, offering a balance between energy independence and network reliance. What are the benefits of solar power feeding back into the grid?

How does grid-connected solar work?

Grid-connected solar power allows your home to draw electricity from the main network when your solar panels don't generate enough. It's a two-way exchange; excess energy produced by your solar panels is fed back into the network, and you receive a feed-in credit on your account.
